Clearly you have only the interests of your dear daughters at heart, and long to spare them the unpleasantness of unmentionables - but Florida? Perhaps not, dear. One hears stories. Disturbing stories. Stories of daring haberdashery and startling fruit varieties. <br /><br />It pains me but I must discreetly suggest something you may not have considered. I would never speak ill of Mrs. Lucas. She is a wonderful woman about whom I would never gossip. But one must ask oneself: Why would she suggest such a place to you? <br /><br />I do hope your your family has enjoyed an injury-free festive season.trocaderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453219564428416838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1759171623374927324.post-37226812681874113062010-12-21T13:02:14.104-08:002010-12-21T13:02:14.104-08:00If you don't mind weeks on a crowded, dirty sh...If you don't mind weeks on a crowded, dirty ship with roughnecked sailors you'll have to spend most of your time steering your youngest girls away from, the trip might not be too horrid.<br /><br />But once you get to Florida you have swarms of mosquitos to contend with- the blood sucking little savages, reptiles large enough to finish off a Yorkshire Terrier for a light snack, and humidity that will make the loveliest of curls fly every which way. I fear a winter in Bath amongst the dreadfuls may be preferable.FarmWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160105159061698526noreply@blogger.com
