Hello Lesley,
I know, but still makes a good story.
It is also said, that when the EU comes out with a regulation say 500 words
long, the French will go
"na" and trim it down to 100. Whereas the English will add another 2000 to
the directive.

Where I just got soaked as I decided to trim back the empty apple tree
branches so I can get at the apples in the centre.
Anyone out there for free apples - I have got too many!
Whilst not wishing to rain on anyone's parade, I'm afraid I have to show
you this link

rainy day like today.
