Oh, Cheryl, do give the locations of these two - New England?

Timber Press reissued the Merry Hall Trilogy - a definite must read.>>>>>
I have been a Nichols fan for thirty years. ABE Book Exchange can find them
for you at bargain prices with the original drawings. There are around 7 or
8 totally on gardens. Mail privately and I will give you my list. I chased
down and collected everyone of those books. Keep them. A few years go by
and they are fresh again. Where are the Beverley Nichols of today? (BTW
Nichols is a he)
<<<<<TV Gardening - I love Ground Force (on BBCAmerica) and will watch almost
anything on gardening on TV. Too cold to be outside now. >>>>
My husband, who is not a gardener, loves that program. He looks over the
schedules and finds it on several stations watching the old ones or in fact
any ones. Apart from sports, there is little he watches but Ground Force and
Junkyard Wars (how to make things) are his. These are both BBC if one is
looking.
