  6. Absolutely shameless appropriation of #WindintheWillows for political purposes on #BBC Radio 4 at the moment. It's brilliant. 👌🏼

  7. ‘Demonic’ #WindInTheWillows jumper #banned from #WestminsterAbbey | #London | The Guardian

    Security guards who are ignorant of the origin of a picture think it’s supposedly #demonic. And even if it were, how would that hurt someone? It’s not even a provocative or threatening message.

  8. A. A. Milne on his inspiration for the book:

    "I came out early, oh, ever so early. Nobody was up, the birds weren't up and even the sun wasn't up. And everything was so still that there was no sound in all the world, except just the wind in the willows, whispering ever so gently." ~A.A. Milne

    Which I came across and saved from the A.A.Milne bot on Twitter, a long time ago. It is still there.
