Once again, a flurry of catching up, Kate, and here I find your sad story of Clive, and your happy adventures with Al and the princesses and the teacher who is what all teachers should be – and this, a great reblogging event to start my weekend.

Kate, thank you – I hardly recognise myself! I’m very chuffed 😉
Its amazing what we don’t see about ourselves. It does to hold the mirror up every now and then 🙂 Thank YOU for your support.
Another fine pick, Kate.
I love my visits to Fiona, Nancy 🙂
Well said Kate!
🙂 Thanks, Jim!
Fiona is a dear–on every level! Lovely, Kate.
