Her dry humor and physical comedy (perhaps especially for a woman of her physique), just makes me smile thinking about her. And I didn't realize Angela Lansbury played Miss Marple. I can't quite picture her as such, though I loved her as Jessica Fletcher in the TV series, Murder She Wrote. It's fun to remember these old shows...Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905003879789876177.post-53205086984316482522023-03-27T15:00:55.265-04:002023-03-27T15:00:55.265-04:00Good choice.

This tradition was brought to Newfoundland by the settlers and after being almost forgotten for years, has been recently revived".
