    And my friend and I spent a week in a scout camp with 30 odd scouts and some rather toothsome Scouters or whatever the grown up scouts are called. Tablet wants me to have gone with some "toothless" young gentlemen. Believe me, they were nothing of the sort.

    That's quite enough of my misspent youth.

    VJsmum, I've gone weak at the knees at the thought of ten men, I'd never have to operate a lock or swing bridge ever again!

    Misspent youth?

    Nursemaggie, your mention of Auntie Rene reminded me of mum. She always gets throws for the three piece suite. You never see the three piece suite until it's going out the door for a new one to come in :rotfl: Smoking is ridiculously bad on furnishings. My hubbys nan had a stern talking to from my MIL once, she'd kept the plastic wrap on the dining chairs "to keep them clean". The problem over here is the mould gets beneath the plastic anyway, so you end up sitting on a petrie dish.

    MMF007, I can't wait to see some :D I think always the most important thing is effort and enjoyment, but also that many folk devalue their own work.

    Silvasava, we have magpies and butcher birds here, some of which are almost tame for me, they follow me around like dogs. Unfortunately they are not toilet trained and that's why I have plastic outdoor furniture.

    I'm not competing over numbers of men. I've never had many at once, just quite a few consecutively :rotfl:

    Right, I have set up a flickr account so if you want to see 2 pics I did search the people for Auntie Rene and click the one that says joined April 2018! No idea how to post link to it......anyone know?
    I have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance. :grin:

    They're wonderful! You've really got a talent there for showing the life inside the painting. Although I love the puddy tat, my favourite is the view through the trees, so peaceful I could take a nap in it.
    Well done you :T

    MMF - just taken a look at your link WOW!! Your bluebells are stunning - reminded me of a Corot painting and the bluebell woods not far from me. You definitely have talent.
