RE: A walk through an English woodland

haha - very sweet memory just came to me - Im not completely sure but I think it may have been there that I first discovered what a 'kissing gate' is

RE: A walk through an English woodland

Ive been walking up there Gra and how sad to think of doing it for a final time - when do they start ruining the landscape then? - how long we got left to enjoy the beauty? Yep, we can try to get a walk in sometime before the wreckers come along

RE: A walk through an English woodland

Two Prawns

Hi Karen, not seen you around for a while, I hope youve been OK

Two Prawns

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were
swimming around in the sea - one called Justin and the other called
Christian.

The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that
inhabited the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a
prawn, I wish I was a shark, then I wouldn't have any worries about being
eaten."

A large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted" and lo
and behold, Justin turned into a shark.

Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by
his old mate.

Time passed (as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a shark
boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came
close to them.

Justin didn't realise that his new menacing appearance was the cause of
his sad plight.

While swimming alone one day he saw the mysterious cod again and he
thought perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into a prawn.

He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and
behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his
friends and bought them all a cocktail. (The punch line does not involve a
prawn cocktail - it's much worse).

Looking around the gathering at the reef he realised he couldn't see
his old pal. "Where's Christian?" he asked. "He's at home, still
distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy & became a
shark", came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he
set off to Christian's abode. As he opened the coral gate memories
came flooding back.

He banged on the door and shouted, "It's me, Justin, your old friend,
come out and see me again."

Christian replied, "No way man, you'll eat me. You're now a shark, the
enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your dinner."

Justin cried back "No, I'm not. That was the old me. I've
changed.........










....I found Cod. I'm a Prawn again, Christian".

Dust If You Must

aww, thanks everyone - I had left this one sinking like a lead balloon and gone off to do other things

There are so many things so much more worthy of our time than a bit of dust

My aunties used to do the washing on a monday, ironing on a tuesday - and all that sort of stuff - if anything disturbed the routine you'd have thought a bomb had dropped - I swore Id never be that way and that the kids and friends would always be so much more important

Dust If You Must

DUST IF YOU MUST - Author unknown


Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture, or write a letter;
Bake a cake, or plant a seed;
Ponder the difference between want and need?

Dust if you must, but there's not much time,
with rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

Dust if you must, but the world's out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come round again.

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember, a house becomes a home when you can write
"I love you" on the furniture ........... just dont put the date on
