No 'rich man in his castle, the poor man at his gate' when I was a child. I had to go to England to learn that verse.<br /><br />My grandmother - a stern woman who could make oats and mutton go a very long way - told us as children that nomatter how little we might have ourselves we were to welcome the stranger, to feed him and look after him, for that stranger was the Christ and his arrival blessed the house.<br />Not that that stopped her asking the Christ for a hand chopping wood, though...<br />Roll on independence and a return to our own values.<br />the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16539163.post-57298220571138442092014-09-07T23:08:53.242+01:002014-09-07T23:08:53.242+01:00Over a couple of white wines yesterday afternoon (...Over a couple of white wines yesterday afternoon (Sunday) my landlord and I discussed the rapidly arriving referendum. <br /><br />My landlords are originally from the UK - he's flying off on Wednesday for a visit; his wife is already up your way, Mr. Ad-Man. She left last week and is presently on a long boat with friends somewhere in the west country. They'll be spending most of their six-week stay in Orford, as they always do. They've just bought a cottage there for rental purpose, once they renovate it a bit. My landlord's brother and his wife operate a tea room in Orford. <br /><br />Our neighbours on one side are Scots. They left Scotland quite a number of years ago. They lived for a while in the US before settling here a quite a while ago. I'd be interested to learn what Forbes & Sheena think about the referendum...my betting is that they'd be Yes voters if they were given the chance.<br /><br />Keep up your healthy diet...you will feel so much the better for all the fresh fruit. This morning I've already had some strawberries, an orange, a banana, an apple and a kiwi fruit...all blended together in my NutriBullet with a some raw nuts, linseeds and pumpkin seeds. Yummy! And the day has only just begun. I'll have more fresh fruit again tonight. My main meal is in the middle of the day...and at night I always have fruit.<br /><br />I think I should be living in the middle of an orchard or the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.com
