Quilting and listening
This week as I quilted I've been listening to various readings and dramatizations from BBC radio. First up (and my favorite thus far) was a dramatization of Paul Gallico's The Snow Goose. It's only an hour long, but so good.
Of course, I had more than one hour's worth of quilting so I checked out BBC 7 and listened to Alan Bennett read The House at Pooh Corner until I ran out of episodes. Then I heard Prunella Scales read E. Nesbit's Last of the Dragons. Still more quilting to do, so I began listening to a dramatization of The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff, which is a book I own, and have assigned to my children to read, but which I have never read.
Today I will begin putting on the quilt's binding while listening to another episode in each of the three books already mentioned, and I think I will add to the mix Agatha Christie's Murder in Mesopotamia.

Oh, thanks for the links!! I did not know about this site...
I love The Snow Goose, especially the version with Beth Peck's illustrations.
Here's my book review ~

Dana, I remembered that you'd read, reviewed, and recommended The Snow Goose, and I got a copy of the book from the pile of discards at the library!
I hope you enjoy the dramatization - better listen soon, as I don't think the BBC archives anything for very long.
We listened today too -- The House at Pooh Corner!
so smart! I didn't know about this site either. I'm going to hurry up and get my quilt ready to quilt :)
Thanks so much for this - I had no idea we could listen online! :o)
