Thoughtful Sunday from The Fountain of Tears

You may feel, when a falling leaf brushes
Your face, as though some one had kiss'd you,
Or think at least some one who miss'd you
Had sent you a thought...

Or a bird's little song, faint and broken,
May pass for a tender word spoken:

Arthur O'Shaughnessy

My dad was a student in London in the 1950s, (from Borneo) he hated it because it was so cold. I was about to suggest you grow your own lemon tree when I realise it is too cold.

We are lucky here in Auckland, lemons grow nicely, and I don't use the zest. I just drink the lemonade. What a waste.

Ah Ann - I wish we did have a climate suitable for lemons!
(And for anyone else this continues a discussion we were having on Ann's blog so it was not so crazy a comment as it might have seemed at first glance. I was pointing out how ridiculous it was that unwaxed lemons cost more in the supermarket than waxed ones. Paying them for not adulterating our food.)

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
