Way Out West (1937)
“Well, here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten us into.”
Hi, I’m Jill, a writer and teacher living in the UK, usually behind a desk but sometimes on a sofa with a book or a film. I began writing at around age three, legibly by five, although I didn’t write any stories until I was older.

I know what you mean about that box set! I have a few of those myself I keep meaning to get round to watching. I make the excuse it’s because no-one will watch them with me but then, when I’m on my own, I’m still off doing other things 😉

My father would wax lyrical in rapturous praise of Laurel and Hardy. Thank you for taking me back to such wonderful memories…

My absolute pleasure, Russell xx I always loved watching those golden oldies with my dad. We never really bothered with Chaplin, but Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy were firm favourites.

My husband and I are always quoting Laurel and Hardy when we make a muddle of things 🙂

🙂 I don’t know about you but I suspect I’d be Hardy in our relationship 😉

I think I could be both depending on the day 🙂 Insecure Laurel and grumpy old Hardy!! haha! That’s why my husband doesn’t always understand me! He’s 100% Hardy!

Oh Jill I loved hearing that again! My mum and dad used to sing it all the time when I was a little girl.

Aside of the comedy content, it’s a beautiful song isn’t it? I don’t think it gets aired enough these days…
