Another delightful installment of "The Chronicles of Terry and Rebecca" (like Narnia, only funnier)! Today I learned that "Dreamies" are cat treats, London is walkable, 4-year-old Terry was very astute, and that I'm some sort of heathen because I drink peppermint tea made from a bag (but in the right vessel, thank goodness!). Never a dull moment in these parts! Off to look up "The Buddha of Suburbia." The name piqued my curiosity! :)
I delight in your reference to Bessie Smith's "If you don't like potatoes, why did you dig so deep." I hadn't heard that one before. She is also known for using a line written by Irving Berlin, "'If you don't want my peaches, you'd better stop shaking my tree' . I think a lot of people today should use that line. You know, as a fair warning. ha ha ha
Your map of your journey to the maps exhibition is absolutely WONDERFUL - such a great concept. I’d love to have a play with this idea when I’m out and about - perhaps I’ll have a go on my next long walk.
Another thing I've noticed is that you use your notebook the same way round as I use mine - with the fold horizontally across the middle! I find it much easier to use pocket notebooks that way round - great minds think alike!
Thanks, Rebecca. I tend to use it in landscape mode for drawing, and portrait mode for writing. I get confused when I write and draw on the same page, which logically entails using it diagonally I suppose :-)

Peppermint tea in a bag? For some reason I had thought you were a woman of refinement. How disillusioned I feel. Just joshin' 😂
I'm starting my garden at the moment and I'm intrigued by Elaine's potatoes. Now I wonder if this is some growing secret I have been missing out on...
I just asked Elaine. Apparently, planting the potatoes in egg boxes gives them a head start.
Thanks! I'll have to give it a try :-)
😃
I am very impressed, Terry! Both with your gorgeously executed map and that you've found my secret location :)
😂 Thank you for kind words about my map 😃

LOL. I hadn't heard that one, Sharron! 😂
Thanks for another super letter, Terry!

Diagonally! Now that I've got to see...! 🤣
😂
Thanks, Jack. I'm not sure why I would want to continue the discussion anywhere other than here, especially as I'd have to sign up for an account.
OK, will explore. Thanks.
