Here are some delightful tips to celebrate Plum’s upcoming birthday!
Wodehouse’s birthplace, 59 Epsom Rd Guildford
‘P. G. Wodehouse was born on 15 October 1881, at 1 Vale Place, Epsom Road Guildford in Guildford’ begins Frances Donaldson in her 1982 Authorized Biography, summing the matter up rather neatly. The house in Surrey was not the Wodehouse’s home; the family lived in Hong Kong, where P.G.’s father Henry Wodehouse was a magistrate in the Colonial Civil Service. His mother Eleanor was visiting England, staying with her sister in the neighbouring village of Bramley. Eleanor was visiting friends in Epsom Road when out popped the infant Plum (see*). Nonetheless, the house is remembered with a blue plaque over the door. You can read about my visit there in ‘The Wodehouse Trail: Birth’.
To commemorate P.G. Wodehouse’s birthday, tomorrow I will be picking up the trail with a visit to his first home, and I look forward to sharing that adventure…

Yay! I’d have missed a good cause for celebration if you hadn’t reposted this, thanks.
