P.G. Wodehouse, The Great Sermon Handicap. Short story audiobook, read by Nick Martin.

Ойын-сауық

Remember cousins Claude and Eustace? They are back again, "and more or less generally admitted to be the curse of the human race"
Written in 1922 and set in the Cotswolds this story follows on directly from Comrade Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood.
If you have a moment do look in on brother Richard's Cotswold Woollen Weavers. The details will pop up on screen during the story.

    Thank you all for the warm and appreciative comments below and I'm pleased you liked it. A good story and have you noticed, as ever its summer time in Bertie's land - which makes a welcome escape from our present dive into British mid winter! Cheers all

    London temperatures may get to 75 degrees in summer. Raving on about how "beastly hot" that is is positively hilarious. Those dainty little people people would surely expire over the course of a Texas summer. How any of them ever endured India or Nairobi is a mystery.
