[Hardy-l] More from the BBC

[Rosemarie Morgan]

This was delightful Angelique.

Did you really walk all the way to "Talbothays"from "Marlott" (and so soon 
after Vita's birth!) -- I'm impressed. Also impressed by 
your  South-Western (Wessex)  accent. Either I've never noticed it before 
or else you made a good job of replicating it.  Bravo!

The whole thing made me feel quite nostalgic I must say and I liked the 
emphasis on Tess's sensual power and ability to rebound (none of that old 
Victorian passive stuff).

I used to think, as a child, that milking a cow was rather a chore. I feel 
rather differently about it now!

Thank you again
Rosemarie
