    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I like the floral shift thing too.

    Its funny about the lace FC, because I remember a conversation you had with a nice child last summer and your eyes went all creative while you were telling her why you didn't work with lace. ( she was wearing some as inserts in a top I think) and now I wonder if it was part of a creative process.

    That is what DW's family call a Coming-Out Dress. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Would you consider somewhere further down coast? The reason I ask is I quite like Bexhill on Sea. It is a small seaside town, quiet and retirement rather than brash. You can get detached for under £200k:

    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26650287.html

    Detached, garage, space for outbuildings, nice garden...

    I look occasionally at areas for post retirement me.
    I want to be near a town for goods/services and access to stuff. I am aware that the older I get the more remote I might become to "stuff" otherwise.

    Also, the coast isn't all the same.... it's not just sea you know :)

    If I had had girls not boys, for the coming out dress I would be saying "you look amazing"; but the black one would make me say "I think you need to cover up a little".

    In retrospect, maybe it depends whether the daughter is 14, 18 or 22.

    With the utmost respect silvercar, I think it depends less on age and more on cup size:o

    Why not? Are you suggesting dogs are of lesser value? Big dog weighs not much less than dh, is taller than him. and has back/ neck pain...why would her bed be lesser?

    ( DH and I have never actually had a new bed!)

    Not at all. As a non dog owner I was amazed at the price of dog beds. I just didn't assume they'd be that high.

    As they say in the Carry On films: Phwoar!


    This is one of FC's dresses. She'll be along in a minute to explain how it stays up. :)

    Must admit I browsed the website & needed a cold shower after! There are some absolutely beautiful women there.
    However I'm sure that their beauty is emphasised by the attire. I was really impressed by so many outfits.

    fc, you go girl!

    <michaels mode on> the dress isn't bad either <michaels mode off>
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    A friend of mine moved to Newquay. My family & his used to holiday there a lot when we were kids. He's adamant that the coast in cornwall is far better than anywhere else in the UK.

    I don't know enough of the rest of the coast to fully compare, but I can see what he means.

    I lived there. The colours are different.

    The sand is sandier and more yellow; the water is pure and aquamarine; the cliffs are magnificent and cliffy ... and there are coves and caves and magic.
