The real thing???
Posted Sep 21, 2010
A friend from my church was visiting relations in the Hereford area for the weekend. It was the same weekend as the Pope's visit.
She went by train and bus instead of driving and as part of her journey, she went to the Cathedral.
As her case was heavy and had noisy wheels, she asked to have it stored safely while spending time there.
They willingly stored it and then when she was ready to leave, she went to collect the said case.
She had her name and destination on a label, which caused quite a fuss among the cathedral staff. They were wondering if it were the real thing or not.
Her surname is Pope

Granny's knitting.
Posted Sep 29, 2008
When I was a child, many moons ago..
I used to hate it when my grandma knitted me a cardigan for Christmas. I wanted toys.
You could guarantee that every year was the same. Another hand knitted cardigan. Still no toys from her. 
Now I am a gran, guess what my grandaughter is getting this year 
The knitting needles are on the go, as I speak

a vegetarian christmas
Posted Jul 8, 2006
i have been thinking about a future problem i will have this year and if anyone has any suggestions.........
if all goes to plan, i will be having a vegetarian staying here and need to accommodate to his tastes. its not a moral thing, he just doesnt like the taste of meat.
he doesnt eat any meats or fish. stuffings, gravies or custard.
he loves all vegetables and fruits and many cheeses and also has a very sweet tooth. (trifle with no custard?
)
now im a qualified but retired chef, so my cooking skills are brilliant
, but limited in the imagination department 
he loves pasta and rice and had complimented me on what meals i have created for him so far.
ive never cooked a nut roast, so im not sure about what they are like. maybe he can have a ready meal 
has anyone any suggestions as to what to serve up?
i dont just want him to have a plate of sprouts and mash
something to make it that bit more special for him and bearing in mind that i have the 'normal' christmas dinner to do as well.

Attitude

It's All About ATTITUDE
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had
a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M, " she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So
she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only
one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "Today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she
did and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't
a single hair on her head.
"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"
Attitude is everything.
Have a Good Day!
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
