I wished you well for selling the tickets for the Flower Show, and said I like smaller shows even more than the very big Chelsea show I saw these days. It was impressing, but not as personal as the smaller ones - most outstanding a flower show very ! ! many years ago in Salisbury, were even the then Bishop was present.

Firstly old ladies tend to be sprightly, wiry and go on fot ever. Secondly communities tend to be insular and do not take kindly to changes - I am sure that most of the villagers do not think there is any need for a community councillor. Still I wouldn't change village living for anything and i am sure you wouldn't either.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-40147378621289847162013-06-05T17:10:51.109+00:002013-06-05T17:10:51.109+00:00jgsheffield@hotmail.comjgsheffield@hotmail.comJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-84982300448524612372013-06-05T16:59:09.428+00:002013-06-05T16:59:09.428+00:00hey john! i have something i want to send to you ...hey john! i have something i want to send to you but can't find your email anywhere to ask for your address? should i leave my email address in your comment section and then you can email me your snail mail address? joycejaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-69355880585422595022013-06-05T16:25:40.987+00:002013-06-05T16:25:40.987+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-44784849199563415982013-06-05T16:25:13.448+00:002013-06-05T16:25:13.448+00:00Unfortunately a lot of people have lost interest i...Unfortunately a lot of people have lost interest in their local councillors as they don't think they do very much for the local community and in some cases think they are just out to feather their own nests.
