Incongruity or what, as well as some #HPLovecraft, I've bought A Bear Called #Paddington, The #Wombles Book, and #TheWindintheWillows. The last partly to self-mock my own dunderheadedness and fondness for plus fours I like to imagine Toad strutting around in.
Classic. Children's. Fantasy. Animals.

Ok I just learned that #RickMayall did the voice of #Toad from #TheWindInTheWillows and now #everything makes more #sense.
Lunching at Mr. Badger's cafe in Hawera.
I get the feeling that the Mastoverse will appreciate this as much as I do.

Since this weekend was the 75th Anniversary of one of my favorite Disney movies, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, here's a photo of a statue depicting J. Thaddeus Toad holding the deed to Toad Hall that I encountered earlier this year at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

"And instead of having an uneasy conscience pricking him and whispering 'whitewash!' he somehow could only feel how jolly it was to be the only idle dog among all these busy citizens."

"#Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of #DivineDiscontent and longing"
Mole, reacting to the first days of spring in #TheWindInTheWillows,
quoted by #MalcolmGuite in #Poet'sCorner
Useless quote for 16 Jan (and for the north):
"… the snow was getting so deep that they could hardly drag their little legs through it, and the trees were thicker and more like each other than ever. There seemed to be no end to this wood, and no beginning, and no difference in it, and, worst of all, no way out."
~ Kenneth Grahame, 1908

Just finished watching The Wind in the Willows (1983), will try to drop some thoughts or review in the comments. #justwatched #watched #cinemastodon #plex #whattowatch #moviedon https://trakt.tv/movies/the-wind-in-the-willows-1983 #TheWindInTheWillows #trakt
All credit to #CosgroveHall and #ThamesTelevision who, in 1984, adapted the Edwardian pagan fever dream #ThePiperAtTheGatesOfDawn as part of their brilliant stop motion #TheWindInTheWillows children’s TV series.
#PeterSallis (later Wallace in Wallace and Gromit) plays Rat and #RichardPearson plays Mole.
English psych having something of a theme of acid teacups and magic rabbitholes, #PinkFloyd’s debut album was named after the deeply trippy, mystical chapter in #TheWindInTheWillows where Mole and Rat encounter the god Pan. Lured in by his music, they worship him and he helps them find the otter child Portly who they have been searching for.
