Does my bag need a burial ceremony? To the casual eye, this looks like a scruffy old bag but to me it is much more than that. I bought it in Boston, Ma, USA in about 1995. It has served me well traveling to Sri Lanka, Singapore. Australia, South Africa (20 times), the United States and Canada, not to mention my travels in Europe. It has a wonderful combination of a lot of pockets as well as...
Irrespective of Mother Nature and the weather she produces, life must go on, rain or shine, winter or summer.. Mums must take their children to school. Much of what we need to do is unexciting except if you look at it with the eye of an artist or in my case a diarist. You bring things to life.

In other words, if it does not make logical sense then there is a hidden hand that controls for motives other than the claimed reason. Also - It is pretty much a full time job watching the West writing its own suicide note, as Kathy Gyngell...
First stop, the monthly market in the marketplace of Midsomer Norton Francoise bought her usual fish order. There are no fishmongers in Midsomer Norton and she doesn't like to rely on frozen fish.
