Can you expound a little please Cliff?

My apologies Lesley ... there is a superb motion picture on release in the UK at the moment entitled; 'The Artist' and I urge people to see it if at all possible.

My daughter was trying to explain to her French friend what 'Yorkshireness' was like. The best she could do was tell her how her grandad made his new shed door out of his old shed door!
Are you suggesting there are other ways to do it?

Here is the note and link for the video Brian sent us ... it is delightful.

"Mountain Gorillas are among God’s most magnificent creatures, but have been savaged by ignorant humans for centuries.
There are now only 720 Mountain Gorillas left in the wild, and in Uganda the tourism business to observe these incredible
animals is a major source of income. BUT…in this unbelievable video clip, a troupe of gorillas, led by the alpha male
(the ‘Silver Back’) actually comes right into the lodge where tourists stay on gorilla-watching trips. What happens next is
just…just stunning."

Here's my little friend we are very close (in looks as well she who must be obeyed is prone to say). I sometimes take him to Tesco's but always have a hell of a time with him around the banana counter but never have any difficulty at all with queues at the tills or indeed the car park. Mrs N took him shopping to Exeter on the park and ride and the bus driver accepted my bus pass. Funny, I don't see any resemblance at all


By the way his name is Bob after one of my favourite characters in Blackadder.

Hmm, didn't work as I thought. I didn't understand Maggi's instructions probably.

 Reopen your post, Anne, as if to edit it... you'll see what I have done to  get your hug in the right place ..... if you know what I mean.... probably over-excited Buttercup now...... :-[

Two sunny days off work this week  :) :)  I am truly happy.  We restarted the Grand Plan in the garden and today I spent several hours re-acquainting myself with my greenhouse after a long period of extreme neglect.  More please!!
