Heartfelt congratulations to you and yours Billybob!

Pop those corks Jerry and fill 'em up!

Let's give a warm welcome to the newest member of the Kitchen Table!

It always makes me cross that budgets for public services such as schools, museums and libraries are always the first to be cut and pared to the bone whenever there are "difficulties". Was it Joni Mitchell who sang "...you don't know what you've lost 'til it's gone....."

Wit regard to clearing things out......I keep trying, but things keep creeping back! Have you read Pam Ayres? Her poem, "Heap of stuff" describes the process exactly!

A Google search for Pam Ayres and "heap of stuff attack" will find it!

I shall raise a glass to Prudence tonight!

Best wishes,

Peter
