Rosie Buckland, the cousin of Laurie Lee, was the girl in the title of the book 'Cider With Rosie'.

She passed away recently, a few days short of her 100th birthday.

I know we had to read it at school, but haven't got a clue now what it was about.

Oh well...R.I.P. old girl.

RIP Rosie.

Cider With Rosie is a lovely book.

I read it a few years ago. I might have to buy another copy to refresh my memory of it.

RIP to the lady.

Read it at school and umpteen times since - lovely read.

Laurie Lee's other stuff - about his time in Spain during the Civil War is also worth
a look. And his poetry.

The TV film from the 70's with Rosemary Leach as his mum is really good.
Almost impossible to get a copy now though. Happy
