When I first moved to Bristo...Is that Arnos Vale? <br /><br />When I first moved to Bristol, the buses carried the slogan "Round here we drink Bristol water", which made me wonder what they wrote on the buses in Bath...<br /><br />I was thinking of that Railway Children clip the other day, in the context of what seems to be a whole Youtube genre of "Daddy's Back from Iraq" videos, such as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSMlIM9zLio. <br /><br />Whatever you think about the war, I defy you to watch the first example (from 10 seconds to 30 seconds in) without tearing up. Even Jenny Agutter couldn't match it.Cathy Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838615971611193743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-59533233991862438582010-08-21T11:50:23.205+01:002010-08-21T11:50:23.205+01:00Elen, I've watched that film a thousand times ...Elen, I've watched that film a thousand times and, yes, it still does it for me!<br />By the way, Delia has a great recipe for bramble jelly (my family don't like the seeds). I use it every year and it actually lasts for a few months when kept in the fridge. I don't throw away the stuff that doesn't make it through the sieve - it gets jarred up for those who don't mind a few seeds!Savita Kalhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977368691995933130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-75340122780364431042010-08-21T10:58:32.243+01:002010-08-21T10:58:32.243+01:00I think we all recycle ideas everyday but it's...I think we all recycle ideas everyday but it's how we change them to make them our own that counts.<br /><br />As well being a stay at home mum, writer and student (mature student that is), I have set up a tots group. At Wiggle Tots I 'borrow' songs, tunes and dance moves but I adapt them to make them our own and the children love them. They can relate to the themes whether it be the words or tunes etc. <br /><br />So perhaps thats why alot of people recycle characteristics from elsewhere, so that we as readers can relate to them?<br /><br />Take Care<br />Kate Collings<br />xx<br /><br />www.katecollings.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-18633139106939982372010-08-21T10:15:07.802+01:002010-08-21T10:15:07.802+01:00Yep that bit of the Railways Children still does i...Yep that bit of the Railways Children still does it for me!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442269757463713048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-72125263577634683642010-08-21T10:01:47.951+01:002010-08-21T10:01:47.951+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.fanfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833292377121612880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-53794735354599080962010-08-21T09:31:24.068+01:002010-08-21T09:31:24.068+01:00Oh...recycling is good - especially recycling a hu...Oh...recycling is good - especially recycling a hug!catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
