Half of a century has passed.

It was about 1 AM on the 5Th of July 1971. When the ship "Brittanis" Sailed from Southampton; on board was my wife and five sons, aged between 3 to 16 - Which coincided with My dear departed wife Rosemary's 37th Birthday. Eventually arriving in Sydney on the $th day of August. Rosemary went to Heaven (I am certain) four years ago, today she would be 87 years of age, and I still cannot get it out of my head that she has gone, "Love you Rose for ever and ever"..

It is hard to believe it is four years. It seems like just yesterday, and perhaps for you too.

God bless your soul Rosemary - I can still hear your laughter and your voice
You wee unique in every respect - I remember clearly your 50th Wedding anniversary
and the Anniversary cake I had specially made for you by a specialist German Baker.
The memories will remain with me until it is my time to leave this world
I have the photos of times I was in your company and at your family home.
I am certain that your soul has returned to its place of origin -
and is happy to be home.
A.B.
And I speak also on behalf of the Chairman

OPEN FORUM. This is a new concept in blogging.

In future ALL posts on this Site will have a section to be known as 'OPEN FORUM. this is to be introduced as from now and a reminder of this promulgated at each time a new post arrives. Open Forum comments are not restricted to the current post, however, it would be advisable not to retro too far into the archives. When referring to comments in archives, you will be advised to mention the post and it's date. Open forum comments Shall Not relate to the current posts, and must be headed 'Open Forum. Open talk opens the way to further talk, as does wine or love, and a little bit of gossip is good for the soul, another good thing about gossip is that it is within every ones reach. The more the pleasures of the body fade away, the greater to me is the pleasure and charm of conversation.

I was close to home when I saw the Coal delivery man open our front gate. I watched as the big lurcher dog from the mill mounted one of Auntie Parker's Scots Terriers in the flower bed. Auntie flapped her arm yelling "Someone do something"., The Coal man promptly dropped his sack of coal and grabbed then squeezed the lurcher's testicles. The poor dog, his his coitus interrupted,let out an unearthly howl and shot off down the road his back legs hobbling in a three legged sprint. My adopted uncle Robert was a queer old cove. he lived in a large three storey house by the river cherwell in Oxford with a man servant?. Though his sexual preferences may have been questionable, his meanness certainly wasn't. Uncle Bob rarely bought a newspaper, always choosing the library for such information, and always rode a bicycle twelve miles to visit us. The day he turned up late hot and flustered with a puncture I was sent to the Post Office to buy a puncture repair kit that cos

Crossbow                                               This is my  Story, Titled.. Thoughtless. Stunning.                                                         'The Village Fete'    The village Fete was aways deliberately held during the most promising sunny day during mid - July when it was attended by the vast majority of the population of Lower Frogsbottom, a Village within a valley of the Chilterns in rural Oxfordshire England . The mass hysteria, centred mostly around the beer tent and other local yokel exciting happenings were the guessing of the weight of the pig. an unfortunate little porker destined for the Barbeque, other exciting activities, like dipping the lady and the inevitable Cocoanut Shy. As was the usual thing the opening ceremony was always heralded by the arrival of the village Squire  The Hon Sir Marm
