| Just going back to the earlier post you placed on board Penelope. Quote:
Yes, it's a double take from Skipton. Sounds like you had really nice meals at Bashall Barn. Excellent! I take the point you make regarding languages, I hadn't made a decision, I was thinking about the same. What concerns me is the distribution of learning time on a variety of subjects which may not all be necessary, and could starve a pupil of important time on a subject or subjects which would be more beneficial to his future status in life. It's basically a swings and roundabouts topic, but like most things on the carousel, it has a driving force with regards to important issues, if you fall off or the noddy horse becomes loose. Quote:

You will enjoy it, look forward to the photographs, we didn't take any so far as I remember. Have fun as well. We are off to Scotland first thing in the morning. I don't know for how long, we will take it as it comes. Feel free to add to the thread, all contributions from you will be a pleasure to receive. Regards and best wishes. Mathos.

Cheers Chas. Six weeks will soon pass, but be careful when you move out there. It's only human nature that you will get carried away with the relaxed attitude and seemingly freedom of life out yonder. Enjoy yourself though. | |

Mathos and Penelope were very civilised about it, so i see no need for you to come over all belligerent.

| Dear Mathos I can't compete with you, but the above post was just a practise, copying your technique, for my blog. Imitation is the highest form of flattery!!! Thanks and Love Pen. |

I think you have done great Penelope, and thanks for contributing to the thread whilst I have been away. It's really nice of you, greatly appreciated. ![]() Don't the daffodils look great all over the place as well, I think they are a brilliant flower. ![]() The ditty you placed on your last post as well 'My Day' Excellent and so fitting to all of us I reckon. Alas, this cloak of age! But what the heck, when you've done it all.. ![]() They impressed Wordsworth as well. No regrets thats for sure. | |

| Mathos must still be in Scotland: So I'm keeping the kettle boiling? In London on Wednesday. Called in to see St. Pancras Station, rather splendid and here is our favourite poet Sir John Betjeman with friend: ![]() John Betjeman - In Westminster Abbey Let me take this other glove off As the vox humana swells, And the beauteous fields of Eden Bask beneath the Abbey bells. Here, where England's statesmen lie, Listen to a lady's cry. Gracious Lord, oh bomb the Germans, Spare their women for Thy Sake, And if that is not too easy We will pardon Thy Mistake. But, gracious Lord, whate'er shall be, Don't let anyone bomb me. Keep our Empire undismembered Guide our Forces by Thy Hand, Gallant blacks from far Jamaica, Honduras and Togoland; Protect them Lord in all their fights, And, even more, protect the whites. Think of what our Nation stands for, Books from Boots' and country lanes, Free speech, free passes, class distinction, Democracy and proper drains. Lord, put beneath Thy special care One-eighty-nine Cadogan Square. Although dear Lord I am a sinner, I have done no major crime; Now I'll come to Evening Service Whensoever I have the time. So, Lord, reserve for me a crown, And do not let my shares go down. I will labour for Thy Kingdom, Help our lads to win the war, Send white feathers to the cowards Join the Women's Army Corps, Then wash the steps around Thy Throne In the Eternal Safety Zone. Now I feel a little better, What a treat to hear Thy Word, Where the bones of leading statesmen Have so often been interr'd. And now, dear Lord, I cannot wait Because I have a luncheon date. |

| Thailand Travel Forum | Nice pics Penelope Have been busy recently but have missed Mathos posting pics with things that get me thinking - like old earthworks ( hill forts - mines etc) and strange features in the landscape that get me digging into my pre -norman data base to find an explanation - go way back in the thread to find some things I have dug out ! |

Haven't you just made some fantastic contributions over the months Happyman. I am sure that many readers, myself well and truly included have been amazed at the wealth of knowledge you have on such matters as you mention above especially, and much more. That 'Eye for detail' might be a simple way to put things. Amazing contributions, thanks and please keep it up. | |

Why didn't you tell me you were coming over TSR2? It would have been really nice to have had a pint or two with you. Not too late if your still in England though. Let me know, you have my details and e-mail address. | |
