Sitting in the garden and reading Betty MacDonald's books is a great feeling. I'm just sitting here in the shadow. The birds are singing and I'm reading Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew. It's so very peaceful at the moment - but not in Betty MacDonald's book. Not at all! As
I have three daughters Betty MacDonald's
descriptions of Anne and Joan make me laugh aloud. Stifling a strong
unmotherly desire to pick up the refrigerator and hurl it after
them...... Sometimes I have the same feelings.
As mother of 5 daughters and a son I know very well whatBetty MacDonald and Stine are talking about. I'm very happy and grateful indeed that this is history now. They all are married and have families of their own.
I'm a very happy Gammy.

Patrick Macnee was a household name in the 60s thanks to his role in TV series The Avengers (Picture: Rexscanpix)Actor Patrick Macnee, best known for his role as John Steed in the 60s TV favourite The Avengers, has died aged 93.According to his official website Patrick passed away on Thursday at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, surrounded by family.His son Rupert said that he died of natural causes. The Riverside Country Coroner’s office in California also confirmed
his death, news tweeted by BBC Arts correspondent David Sillito: Despite initial suggestions that the story might be a hoax, fans quickly flocked to Twitter to pay tribute to the actor many described as ‘the quintessential English gentleman': Patrick, who was born in Paddington, London in February 1922, made
his film debut as an extra in 1948’s adaptation of Hamlet, and had
supporting roles in a string of films throughout the 1950s. However it was The Avengers – which ran for almost the whole of the 1960s – which made him a household name.
The first series of the show, which aired in 1961, saw Patrick’s
character John Steed playing assistant to Dr David Keel, played by Ian
Hendry. However the bowler-hatted secret agent took centre stage from series
two onwards, appearing alongside a succession of female sidekicks
including Honor Blackman, Linda Thorson and Diana Rigg as arguably his
most famous assistant Emma Peel. The original series came to an end in 1969 but Patrick reprised the
role in 1976-77 spin-off The New Avengers, which also starred Joanna
Lumley and Gareth Hunt.
The actor had a string of assistants in The Avengers, including Diana Rigg as Emma PeelPatrick, who became a US citizen in 1959, continued to work steadily
after The Avengers, showing up in the likes of 1981 horror hit The
Howling, cult comedy This Is Spinal Tap and Bond movie A View To A Kill
in which he played 007’s ally Sir Godfrey Tibbett.He also showed up in the 1998 film version of The Avengers, which
starred Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman as John Steed and Emma Peel.And of course you may well remember him from his appearance in Oasis’ video for Don’t Look Back In Anger:
Patrick was married three times and had two children, Rupert and Jenny, from his first marriage to Barbara Douglas.
