I have a very, very soft spot for Westward Ho! It was here in 1963, at the tender age of 15, that I wandered into a secondhand bookshop and picked up a pristine first edition of Thomas Hardy's 'Jude the Obscure'. It cost 15/- (75p) or, for your US readers, less than $2. Worth rather more than that now, although I would not, under any circumstances dream of selling it.

I am slowly getting things in order to go Eastwards Ho! - Greece here I come! (Is that exclamation mark correctly used?) Don't you just like the challenge of punctuation? How about the move to get rid of the apostrophe in English teaching? This could start another blog debate with your friends.

I highly recommend it.<br /><br />Although living in a house with an exclamation point! might offend our sensibilities, it's preferable to one with a question mark?, I think. :-)erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-21244304443235711342010-06-12T13:16:56.212+01:002010-06-12T13:16:56.212+01:00Al, I've just been over to have a look (not sp...Al, I've just been over to have a look (not spent much time indoors recently, so I am way behind in my blog reading). Your beach huts are actually on the beach, as ours was in Hampshire.
