Eventually the South Lancashire Regiment accepted him as a junior Lieutenant. In May 1916 he was appointed to the Horse Transport and went to France behind the lines where the Battle of the Somme was about to commence on 1 July. His task was to bring up supplies as the battle raged and as he had done on numerous occasions was doing so on 21 July a mile or so east of Albert when an enemy shell landed close by and he was killed.

This is a very silly book, even more so than Horvath's first about the bunnies, "Mr. and Mrs. Bunny - Detectives Extraordinaire!" This time Mrs. Bunny develops a burning desire to be queen, so they're off to England to somehow make that happen. What a coincidence! Madeline's parents have received word that they've inherited a candy shop, so Madeline, her parents, and her friend Katherine are also sailing to England. They plan to run the shop just long enough to make the money necessary for Madeline's mom to buy a 30-acre plot of land on which to grow organic vegetables. The people and rabbits meet up on the ship where Madeline rescues her furry friends from being thrown overboard. And late in the book, the rabbits return the favor by solving the problem of Madeline's nonexistent college fund.Phyllis became an ardent and successful tennis player and in 1930 became a member of the winning British Wightman Cup team that went to Forest Hill in the USA.

She travelled widely overseas to play tennis and at her 100th birthday party reported that when part of a mixed team, the Lawn Tennis Association always sent a married lady with them to act as a chaperone.

Vagg, Daphne. Lived at Mole End, Church Road Horley. Died 2006. Past President of the “National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies” First, Webber applied to the War Office, offering to serve ‘in any capacity’ but his offer was rejected. Next, he recruited a company of ‘Rough riders’ fellow-horsemen like himself and offered this unit complete to the Army, but again he was rejected. He never gave up and, possibly to rid themselves of this persistent old gentleman, the War Office eventually gave him a commission. After a very short training period, Henry Webber went to France as a battalion transport officer at the ripe old age of sixty-seven, a remarkable achievement for perseverance. But what of the amazing multi-gabled, timber-framed buildings with their complex roof structures for which he later achieved renown? Blunden was a deeply religious man of outstanding integrity. He was strongly influenced by the lovely rural surroundings that he found while working on houses in Newdigate, Rusper and other villages around Horley. He loved God and he loved Nature and having observed that nothing in nature was completely straight, he determined that his timber-framed houses should be likewise and so be in complete harmony with the trees around them! Knowles, Charlie. Charlie Knowles was a colourful character in Horley during the 1960s, not only because of his white beard and his sporty grey top hat, but also where on numerous occasions he spent his nights. For almost two years he slept under the remaining elm tree in the car park of the then “Chequers Hotel”. One reason for doing so was said to be his belief that the tree was on Horley Common and he wanted to exercise his right to use the common.

Even though these are children's books and look even like they are specifically written for a younger audience, these books can also be enjoyed by lder readers. I'm 26 and these books feel so nostalgic that I just can't put them down. There are a lot of funny situations that can even be enjoyed more by older readers because of their social experiences (e.g. Mrs Treaclebunny is a character that everyone above a certain age had already encountered in his or her life - often accompanied by a lot of eye rolling) PDF / EPUB File Name: Lord_and_Lady_Bunny-Almost_Royalty_-_Polly_Horvath.pdf, Lord_and_Lady_Bunny-Almost_Royalty_-_Polly_Horvath.epub
