Re: Willoughby
in reply to a message by Billina
If someone introduced themselves as it I think I'd struggle not to giggle, a bit. No idea why! just the sound of it. It also makes me think of a huge, lollopy, morose-looking dog for some reason.

Mary Poppins. In one of the books (ignore the movie at all costs) the children's neighbour Miss Lark owns a little dog named Andrew whom she spoils rotten. Andrew secretly hates this, and befriends just such a huge, lolloping stray. Mary P, who speaks Dog, explains that unless Miss L adopts this pooch, whose name is Willoughby, the two animals will go off and live rough together. Reluctantly, she does.
Ha that must be it! I'm fairly sure my elder sister had the books. Will have to ask her. :)
