My friend Wendy, who loves being on stage, dressed in a lovely dress, and flower covered hat, sang We'll gather Lilacs, with her partner George, who had practised with me, for weeks, to get his verses right: on the night, Wendy was so excited, she sang George's verse first!!! his face was a picture! But it is a lovely song to remember.<br />Pauline.

I love Morris cars too, my family had a Morris traveler when I was little that used to take us on camping trips.<br />Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. Isn't it amazing about the peonies, there are other peonies in full bloom near here too. I expect ours are planning to give us an extra special show.<br />xx<br />SumeaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-52997282139673888872009-05-07T04:28:00.000+01:002009-05-07T04:28:00.000+01:00Ooh, to smell those delicious lilacs!

Best to keep them on their toes!<br /><br />The Ivor Novello song reminded me of Gosford Park.

My parents used to have a massive lilac tree in her front garden when I was little, but dad chopped it down because all the streets litter used to get caught at the bottom of it. Shame, because it is a lovely tree. I think the song is beautiful, but very sad.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-15710965512274317272009-05-06T14:45:00.000+01:002009-05-06T14:45:00.000+01:00I am slightly amused because ..I do have a Lilac i...I am slightly amused because ..I do have a Lilac in the garden and seeing as I am married to the above 'professor' that's why I am amused!!<br />I will send him outside to look for it..he might be some time!<br /> ;-)Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991496263250729580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-47854892622460084802009-05-06T14:37:00.000+01:002009-05-06T14:37:00.000+01:00I don't have a Lilac but I am going to get one.

We used to have one as did the neighbours at our last place.<br />This week I have done a lot of travelling locally and have been impressed by the beautiful displays that these trees are making.<br />I went to see my mother yesterday and sadly her Lilac tree is dead as the proverbially Dodo, so it looks like I will have to get at least two.<br />Until recently I used to drive around in my maroon<br />Woody, my favourite vintage car. I never thought of myself as a Miss Marple character though. lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-36153463254440606912009-05-06T13:56:00.000+01:002009-05-06T13:56:00.000+01:00I always had lilacs when we lived in the north, I ...I always had lilacs when we lived in the north, I miss there lovely aroma.
