My great uncle's son - some kind of cousin, only 23, recently drowned in the country. Literally half the town lined the streets for the cars. It was astounding.<br /><br /><br /><br />I love to see the tradition of country life is still alive - in times of crisis what is more comforting than a nice cup of tea and a peice of sponge? Is it mock cream or real?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06562287637130603845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616565.post-3415731129534663442010-08-26T19:17:45.252+10:002010-08-26T19:17:45.252+10:00niceniceTrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244457017658314907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616565.post-54988274248627115892010-08-26T19:16:51.488+10:002010-08-26T19:16:51.488+10:00A sad reason for your journey, but there is nothin...A sad reason for your journey, but there is nothing better than going home, and seeing the old familiar sights, and some new ones!!<br />Good on Connor for his good road trip behaviour and charm!!<br />No, I have never seen a sponge that yellow!!

OK, that doesn't sound right. But I hope you know what I mean. I really do love your way of showing and sharing a part of your life. It is always so interesting. And how did Dr. K know that was passionfruit sponge? I did not even know there WAS such a thing. I bet it's AWESOME. I LOVE passionfruit. I am going to look that up.

The sense of community that's so obvious and welcome on such occasions is the upside of the pressures for conformity that are the downside of country towns. Like you, I'm grateful for having grown up in a small rural town, but have no desire to return to living in one.LynShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724603965512647078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616565.post-66693035666459248122010-08-26T11:12:32.951+10:002010-08-26T11:12:32.951+10:00the yellow!
