So... you're a bishop and I'm the Pope. Still don't get it unless of course it's the Catholic Grammar School white anklets.

It's here ~ not the snow, the cape. It is stunning. Most definitley worth the hassle and the wait and the others going shopping and the photos etc etc. I'll get Jon to take some pikkies at the weekend and if you send me an email address I will e mail them. Thanks to everyone who joined in the is. You are brilliant, just like the cape!

I make a pretty good rum and chocolate mousse, which is the closest I can get! Micca has tried it. If you get stopped after eating it and you are over the limit you have to plead that it was only mousse I was eating.... a bit like my trifle, mincemeat, steak and ale pie.....

As we don't have moose in Cornwall, can I be a deer instead?

Having met Jacqui and corresponded with Sinsull, I'd venture that your rapier-like wit(s) will surely count as sharp instruments (and be safer than swords next time you go shopping).

So that just leaves the feathered hats...or you could just get those moose hats and be the Three Mooseketeers instead.

Dani,
Sad...Newick's is gone and soon to be replaced by a strip mall. Fond memories of an empty place set for Big Mick and Kendall flinging cole slaw...something to do with Schrod, I think.

Can't wait to see you in the cape, kitty.

"Oh err..I've been shopping in Maine with Jacqui and still have some of the 'delights' from the Christmas Tree Shop - oh boy can they all shop"

Ditto from cold and snowy (well, it feels that way to US!) NC. I am snuggled under a blanket from the Christmas Tree Shop that always reminds me (warmly) of the trip I made there with you two.

Sins-

Some of us who had the opportunity to intervene were discrete.

Be very grateful.

I have to admit I did consider warning the management of the "gypsies" who were pillaging other shops in the Old Port, and if they saw a pair of women who fit said description they should immediately call the police. But that would have been wrong!

But very funny...

Cheerily,
