Afternoon Spiders All
That would've been me too Carol!! Just think how much money we
would've made though, being a tourist attraction!! Hope the 'young
german' behaved himself when you were draped over his shoulder!! (and
your husband didn't get too jealous....)
Incidentally, you also send to 'dont panix....' spotted it when I hit

Hi All,
I have just started reading Angela's report in 'Lace' Arachne on her
travels, and I had to smile! It brought back memories of when my
husband and I were in Yogoslavia many years ago.
We had stayed outside Dubrovnik, but went into the city one day, to
see the sights. We decided to catch the car to take us up to the
top of the mountain - which was a big mistake! I am terrified of
heights, but being fairly newly married, thought that I should try
this, as John obviously wanted to take photos from the top - but the
cable car was a truly horrendous ride for me, which I spent cowering
on the floor of the car, gripping the floor. When we got to the
top, I got out, was promptly also overcome by the height, and spent
the day cowering in a corner of the walls, not moving a muscle, with
my eyes tightly shut. To this day, the smell of rosemary brings
back all those feelings of sheer terror. However, it came to the
time of the departure of the last cable car down the mountian, and
John had been trying for quite a while to prise my hands lose from
the stones - to no avail. I think panic was beginning to set in,
on his behalf too, when salvation loomed in the shape of a hefty
German young man.
He asked if there was a problem - John told him there was, and that
I was it! With which, the chap hauled off, punched me under the
chin, knocked me out, and picked me up to cart me over his shoulder
to the cable car. (I was a very skinny lady then - not at all like
I am now ...) When the bruises faded, I was quite relieved, I
suppose, as I wasn't getting down any other way, but it did hurt for
ages! But - if he hadn't done it, maybe I'd be a point of
attraction and tourists would come in their droves to visit this
strange anchorite who lives at the top of a mountain ......
Carol - in fairly flat Suffolk, so no chance of being terrified at
the top of a mountain .
