Comments on: Autumn In Spitalfields https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/26/autumn-in-spitalfields/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:02:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Jill Altman https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/26/autumn-in-spitalfields/#comment-1316354 Mon, 30 Sep 2019 15:02:10 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=177071#comment-1316354 I always wondered what conkers were in stories and never really followed through on investigating them. Thank you for a beautiful essay; it was too lovely not to comment. I read your blog in South Carolina and long to visit England.

“…fresh fire coal chestnut falls…”

I can never resist picking up newly fallen conkers, and putting them in my pocket – even though I know the delicious gloss will not last.

I might have to reread it a few more times to try to suss out the secret

also you might be pleased to know that we will be using The lives and times of Mr Pussy in our Read out loud group on Thursday afternoon at Bethnal Green Library… as suggested by the librarian. Looking forward to it very much. And if you fancy joining us one thursday between 2.30 and 3.30, it would be good to hear one of the text read aloud with your voice

Thanks for all your writing, gentle author, it always makes my day.

Thought provoking article as always. Cheers

Baked apples sound good too!
