 Konig west tun, the west farm of the king. Boudicca country. When I was
secretary of the parish council I moved the bank account. The form asked for
the date that the organisation was founded. I put 'Not known. First
mentioned in 1086.'
 Best village name I've ever seen was Compton Viables.

 Dorothy knows this, too, even though she hasn't seen it. Dorothy knows
nearly everything, but not her Swinburne -- mind you, I've always thought
the hounds of spring was Tennyson and was surprised to find it when I looked
up the other poem. There's a frost tonight.

 Plants for shade: Try to find out if Clematis macropetala grows in your
area. If so, kill to get one. I must get a picture of it on the sebsite, it
is truly wonderful, hardy, shade tolerant, blue. Or white. Or pink.

 OBSF: the kudzu-like climber that dissolved a spaceship for its materials
-- now that's digging really deep, read it in the sixth form, back in
nineteen mumble mumble...
