im staying with the outstanding Bennett family, who run Truckfest, which makes me very lucky! grandfather Bennett was a part of the Inklings, a writers group including C.S. Lewis, J.R. Tolkien, who sat in a pub, the Eagle and the Child, and worked through manuscripts. just where does one begin in a house with shelves full of original C.S. Lewis, Tolkein, bound Milton, Keats, Browning, many treasure authors i don’t know, Faery Tales and unending histories…? feels like magic, wish i could be on house arrest here for a while just to make a small dent.not to mention how nice it is to wait for the train to pass, the gate to lift, walk the narrow cobble stone path to the North Star in the royal blue nite and have some passing people smile and say, “Evening.”
