Pure joy!! This Morse book is quite, quite wonderful. I would watch a Morse episode on Netflix (I've since bought the whole series) and then read the chapter about that ep. It was just so wonderful. And from what I learned, I don't really care about the books. I think the tv version was way superior.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-81006484893038629082016-01-08T09:03:42.083-05:002016-01-08T09:03:42.083-05:00How I loved catching up at Hill Farm this morning ...How I loved catching up at Hill Farm this morning ...
