The above photo shows rather good pargetting on a building in the High Street. It shows the coat of arms of Elizabeth the First, who died in 1603, so that the date above the pargetting must have been applied at least fifteen years after the pargetting was done.
Great Gran went home today. Ann's brothers, Tim and Michael, drove over to fetch her. They had lunch with us, and left at about three p.m. Gran 'phoned later to say she'd arrived home safely, and Tim had made her tea and scrambled egg on toast (of which, I'm told, he makes a good one). Been nice having her with us. She's still good company, bless her. Ruth, Ann, and I had a game of scrabble this evening. Ruth won by nine points. Ruth suggested the game, as Ann and I are going to a scrabble tea at Hilary's tomorrow, and Ruth thought we could both do with a bit of practice (which theory she proved true by beating us). Bed time now (Ruth and the girls have gone up) so I bid you all a very good night.

I was banned from playing Scrabble by Carols mum many years ago.
I will be amazed if you can't think why....;-)
Happy New Year to you and yours old bean.

Hi 4Ds. I will guess the charge sheet ran something along the lines of :- 'Using words unsuitable to the sanctity of the scrabble board' Am I anywhere near ?
We wish you and yours a very happy new year.
Warm regards, Ann and Mike.
P.s. Ruth (Nea) and her girls wish to be associated with the good wishes in the last paragraph of the last comment.
Cheers, Mike.
Mike...You and Ann must be enjoying your visit with Ruth and the girls. Do they have to go back soon?
Happy New Year...it has been such fun communicating with you!
Hi Lori. We're just home from putting Ruth and the girls on a coach for London, where they'll be staying with Liz (our youngest daughter) until Saturday; when we're all going to a pantomime and then bringing Ruth, etc., home with us. On the following Friday (8th January) they start their journey home to the far North. I do admire her energy, though I sometimes wish she could slow down a bit (just like her mother in that). And yes, you're right, it's lovely having them home for a while.
Regards, Mike and Ann.
you are sooo right...(evil laugh)
Have a great night mate!
...and to Nea and the girls too xx
Let's hope 2010 is better. Somehow and someway eh?
