Tilling 2000, page four... |

Saturday evening, dinner at Ship Inn: The dining room, as at the George, was upstairs. There were 28 people who gathered to continue Tilling conversations begun earlier. Our entertainment was provided by Tony Reavell and Dilys Mayor who read a 'newly discovered play found in the back of a desk at Lamb House.' They played the roles of the Mapp-Flint's. In the story, Elizabeth was very curious about a certain blue envelope in the morning's mail. It was for Benjy, who took it and hurried into town to meet a train carrying a certain woman to Tilling. Most of the 'action' took place in a secluded area of his favorite public house, aided by the landlord. I won't spoil the story in case it is made available for general consumption in the future. |

No, that streamer isn't really coming out of Bob's nose - but I don't know how to edit it out. |

Everyone enjoyed the play very much. I hope that some day the original writings that have been read or performed at these Tilling Society events - at luncheon or at graveside - will be published so all Tillingites can enjoy them.
SUNDAY: The Quaint1 and his sister were in Rye for the day. We met at the Mermaid Coffee Shop for toasted cheese and bacon sandwiches then strolled around town - 'touching base' at all the Tilling-related spots and other favorites: Cinque Ports Sreet, The High Street, the Belevedere, the Tuck Shop, Lion Street, Church Square, Watchbell Street, Trader's Passage, Mermaid Street. It was nice to find they get as much enjoyment as I do by perusing the photos in the window of the estate agents, picking out houses and imagining living in them. At the end of the day, we went back to the Coffee Shop for a cream tea. What a nice ending for a stay in Rye!
