Very good to hear of your return, Winston.
Strange you should have mentioned "Poo" or, more properly, "Pooh".
Have you secret powers of divination?
Or "never more!"
Lately I've been intrigued by A. A. Milne and his famous son,
Christopher Robin, who, of course, was a real boy indeed. Shy,
stuttering, often painfully solitary, he had a love for tramping the
woods and glens around Cotchfield Farm, with Pooh, Piglet, Roo and
Tigger clutched in his arms. I've found Christopher to be quite a
darling little fellow, and that his father's portrayal of him in Now
We Are Six and The House on Pooh Corner, were for the most part very
accurate. Although an older Christopher had misgivings about his
fame, particularly when teased by his older classmates, I have found
he was not particularly separated and alienated from his father at all
... indeed, he dearly loved him perhaps even more than his mother or
nanny.
So. Poo it is!
VV
God Save the Queen!
God Preserve the Prince of Wales!
Rule Britannia!
