Jan, the charcoal-burners were in Swallowdale, weren't they? They looked after Roger who had sprained his ankle and got lost in the fog with Titty as they came back to Swallowdale after climbing Kanchenjunga. There is a magnificent recipe for a poultice which they make and apply to Roger's ankle. When I was a kid I wanted one like it applied to me but my mother said no way and bought something from Boots instead.Dennis Hamleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781139870037634374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-34425253821350948182016-11-21T13:42:33.873+00:002016-11-21T13:42:33.873+00:00Beautifully written, Sandra.

Sometimes, these recollections animate things that are otherwise totally elusive.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-56140223812953534202016-11-20T11:16:29.778+00:002016-11-20T11:16:29.778+00:00Beautiful.

I was turned on to the great and wondrous mystery by one of Ransome's books when I was a kid, and really fancied growing up to be a charcoal burner, foolish child. Still use it, tho, in summer on the barbecue!Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.com
