I hop...It is so good to visit and read here again!! I hope you are doing well. Your book review made me write down the title - that sounds like it is perfect reading for both Daniel and me. I hadn't heard of it before. <br /><br />Daniel and I have had a bird clock like that for many, many years (it was a gift from friends) and we love it! Especially that it gets quieter with the waning light and goes totally silent when it's dark. <br /><br />And, yes, postcrossing - oh, how I have neglected that! And all my correspondence. I am hoping that with fall comes more time... As to friends. One of my closest friends is someone I met through blogging. I feel so lucky to have met so many wonderful people through my blog - you included! :)Silke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-29887728179607635122012-09-18T18:10:02.778+01:002012-09-18T18:10:02.778+01:00In 1999, I spent my first - and so far only - holi...In 1999, I spent my first - and so far only - holiday in the US, namely Florida. As a gift for my parents, I bought a bird clock similar to the one you show here, but with the wooden frame painted a dark green and probably some of the birds being different. My parents love it to this day, and it is always fun when there are visitors who don't know (or don't remember) the bird clock and are startled by the sudden sound of some bird or other coming from somewhere near the kitchen!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-66692686726770401682012-09-18T05:12:58.068+01:002012-09-18T05:12:58.068+01:00This is going to be one super tes party.

We got the American bird version for Richard's aunt and uncle in England, and you should see the puzzled expressions from other folks who are visiting when they hear the American birdsong!

My niece in Essex has a similar clock -- my mother had one too, but the bird songs on the British clock and on the one for the North American audience are different. <br /><br />Like Adrian, I haven't read any Terry Patchett either. I'll have to give his work a try one of these days.<br /><br />Just got home from a grocery shopping run, and am so exhausted by the crowds today (Why? What's going on that I don't know about? No idea.) that I have to sit down and like Winnie the Pooh have a little think. So a cup of tea would be very welcome. PG tips, with a little milk and no sugar please! <br /><br />xoxox CarolCanadian Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995693884248628958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-9716609636996812922012-09-16T22:14:37.879+01:002012-09-16T22:14:37.879+01:00hi, just dropping by...two sugars please J...
