Hello, Cerasus!
Thank you for that!
I knew there was a saying about a lie being halfway round the world before truth had its boots on (I think that's how it goes).
But I did not know that about Puck.
For my sins, I have never read a Shakespeare book.

Hello rusty

My head is full of useless trivia which occasionally helps with quizzes and the like

Hello, Cerasus!
We'll have to get you on Eggheads then!

Well done, Cerasus!
I agree, I used to like the pub quizzes.
Hard work compiling one though!

Hi, Rusty!
Thank you for explaining "palmers"......I wouldn't have got if I had tried until the cows come home!
And I did not know that about Puck, as explained very kindly by Cerasus.
I read "A Midsummer Night's Dream " many years ago at school, but it is not one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, and I have never re-read it , nor see the play in the theatre.
I cannot remember the part where Puck says that.......
My favourites are "Twelfth Night" and "As you Like It"
I have seen and enjoyed both those plays performed as open-air theatre at Boughton Monchelsea Place in Kent,.
Both extremely well done.
They were great occasions - the audiences dined out there in the grounds ....with a picnic...and wine.....before the start of the performances.
It was great fun!




Thank you very much, Cerasus
I have read "A Midsummer Night's Dream" many moons ago, but did not remember that about Puck.

Hello, Elle!
The magicians on BGT palm cards.
It is very much part of their act.
No, we would have been lost without Cerasus kindly helping us along.
I know very little about Shakespeare or his plays, but Puck rang a wee bell.
That's a right mouthful of a name of a place in Kent!
My son and daughter-in-law are home from London.

Hi, Fusty!
Boughton Monchelsea Place is a wonderful setting for the open air plays!

Then click on "View Gallery".
These are only pics.....but there is more information on Wikipedia.
I'm glad your son and daughter- in -law obviously enjoyed their visit to London.
Yes, one can walk almost anywhere...and it is also so easy to find one's way about by Tube.
It is easy to walk from one park to another......we have a lot of beautiful parks in and around London
Great art galleries and wonderful theatres too!
The Tower of London is my favourite "touristy" spot!

Hello, Elle!
That is a fine establishment!
It looks familiar to me.
Wondering if it was on the Sky Arts channel for a painting competition once?
My son is getting to know Central London fairly well.
He has been there quite a few times now.
He likes it!
