It is cool though how Daniel Defoe is connected with all of us...and even cooler how his story about Moll Flanders was brought kind of back to life as well....a great writer he was!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-68490689269129417432012-01-25T17:52:06.041+00:002012-01-25T17:52:06.041+00:00Congrats on your win.

Those striped blazers certainly cut a dash!<br /><br />We are no sports players at all, indeed, we positively go queasy at the thought of anything more strenuous than a brisk walk. But, well done on your bowling achievement, was the moment of glory captured in a photograph?Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
