Ladies in Lavender

Lavender's Blue Dilly-Dilly?

Boom Boom!! Much slapping of foreheads. And for a tenner (just in) who was the third? And tell me the nuclear connection please

[cloughie]

We have already established Cornwall for the film. Mercs nearly sniffed out the flower, then gave up There is a colourful children's 17th century song about it. Now leave me alone....

Sorry Flay , I missed your subtle yes to Cornwall, as I had gone to SW France thinking further south from Bergerac! As a result I hadn't got a sniff of Lavender!

Don't look at me - I still don't understand the answers yet! Also, running very late for appointment!

Justin Lavender was persuaded by Peter Pears and
Benjamin Britten to abandon nuclear engineering for music.

Gordon Bennett! How on earth..... ?!??!

And what was the Debussy connection in all that, then?

A particularly fierce question, that, Flay. I was nowhere. (Though I did see Ladies in Lavendar - was that the one where a young violinist washes up on Judi Dench's and Maggie Smith's beach? )

M for Mercia?

don't mind - have you an M handy? - send us all over the edge

what, if anything, were the "rows" in that last one ?

Yes, the washed-up violinist played Debussy (flaxen hair)

The girl with the flaxen hair was on the Ladies in Lavender soundtrack!

No M handy - you go ahead! As to the rows - a few of us got quite heated, but I don't think Flay meant that - I've seen lavender in very neat rows in France, however.
