He is simply marvellous with words. Perhaps one of this centuries best.

Following back thank you and I'll look at your work right now.

I don't get it!😀 😃 😄 😁

Poor you. Tom Stoppard is a very well known playwright and I would have thought if nothing else, you would have seen the movies he wrote screenplays for! Look him up, he is a genius. His son Ed is now a well known actor. Have a good day.

I will have to do that .... thanks for this...😀 😃 😄 😁 I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Thank you and you too. You must tell me what part of the world you are living in - which big city is nearest to you. Have fun!

South Africa. Johannesburg. You? 👨‍🌾 👩‍🍳

Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, England. Ah South Africa. Frankly I wouldn't have visited before the breakdown of Apartheid. So I accepted a three week tour after that, circa 1987 and loved it. I was lucky enough to visit your city, Joahnnesburg, Pretoria, then Cape Town and a guided tour through the Garden state to Durban. I visited Krugar Park and stayed at Mala,Mala. The experience should appear here at some point then you'll see. You live in a wonderful country with lovely people. Enjoy your weekend.

I like England. I it a small town where you live? 😀 😃 😄 😁 😆

Not really small, it's a "borough|" called Kingston Upon Thames, which is a Royal Borough. It's very nice but frankly not very diverse. We moved here last year and came from a very diverse place which we enjoyed. Not that i don't like it here as I am near my daughter and grandchildren, but it's good to have a mix.
