Where I work quite a number of people are retiring within the next few weeks, and it's hard not to think, "yeah, that sounds pretty good right about now..."<br /><br />Ben<br />http://kissthecook-ben.blogspot.com/Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708314072246136972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-44287670318059390982010-11-08T20:08:34.737+00:002010-11-08T20:08:34.737+00:00Hi Angie.

That area is definitely on our list for a return visit. The villages are so quaint and pretty. We also want to do Scotland next time.<br /><br />Cheers - JoolzJoolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-13806347295051013402010-11-04T20:23:49.694+00:002010-11-04T20:23:49.694+00:00Your post made me smile Angie.

Do you really mean there are areas where no one is allowed to use a dishwasher? And if so, why? blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-69135252291970031192010-11-04T20:20:59.124+00:002010-11-04T20:20:59.124+00:00We laughed out loud at Satsuma Man - a modern-day ...We laughed out loud at Satsuma Man - a modern-day action hero for these Credit Crunch times! <br /><br />Perhaps Keith could make a little 'family' for his new chum out of tangerines/clementines/etc. Of course you know, don't you Angie, that you are now only days away from the moment you find Keith having conversations and playing Connect 4 with his collection of peel-pals. It's only a short spin of your wheels from there to Keith refusing to go out with friends because he doesn't want to "upset Mr. Satsuma". And from thence ever-onwards to:-<br /><br />You: "I was thinking of wearing my new cardie when we go to the pub with everyone."<br />Keith: "No! Don't! Mr. Satsuma says he doesn't like you in that colour."<br /><br />A slippery slope, my friend, a slippery slope...<br /><br />I feel quite sorry for the girl you mention before Mr. Satsuma makes his international debut - I expect she's very unhappy deep down. I usually try and make an effort to befriend and include people like that, even now. Of course, there are always those who refuse such efforts and are only rude back... but sometimes a smile and a wave can REALLY make someone's day much brighter. Keep us posted as to how you get on!<br /><br />I'm off to switch off all the lights and hide behind the sofa with Jasper now. I was just looking at your picture again. I swear Mr. Satsuma just winked at me.<br /><br />With love,<br />Ruth & Jasper<br />xxxxRuthnJasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854229975104169793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-44995253354452575222010-11-04T11:26:26.442+00:002010-11-04T11:26:26.442+00:00One of the things I miss most about England Ang is...One of the things I miss most about England Ang is the pedestrians..no one walks around here..they are all in cars as everything is so spread out..I sometimes sit out front of my house and do not see a single soul...I go the mall sometimes just to sit and have a coffee and people watch..I would love to have something to look at out my windows..LYNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370237705032312452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-37025905147649757852010-11-04T03:39:02.547+00:002010-11-04T03:39:02.547+00:00Great fun post.
