reflect the kind of care they get."

  7. Hi Yam - oddly enough none of those things ... but would have loved to have all three ... still I do my bit for the world and its occupants. Take care and all the best - love the header quote too: ... "A sense of humour lends you poise, it gives you balance and it helps you to bend without breaking". Stay safe and happy in this troubling world - all the best Hilary

      Hilary, neither do I - but that doesn't mean the message which underpins these words doesn't sing out... We are all a product of our upbringing, even when we have made efforts to overcome some of it! I know that there is much discussion about reinforcing values of racial unity in schools an institutions - but if in the home these values are not upheld, or actively overturned... But still I remain in hope and trust that Love will win in the end. Yxx

  8. I guess they don't have to be your own children - it takes a community to raise children. So maybe the same applies to good gardens, and to some extent to good marriages; community helps.
