I must get round to reading Mitford-stuff soon. I will obviously love it, given Waugh/Powell enthusiasm, so not sure why I'm holding back.

I love my new icons. Worth every penny of the fifteen pounds. I still have 9 new ones to add, and will savour each new acquistion. Here, have an Anthony Powell.
