        Today I am grateful for the fig wasp visiting my garden this year (they didn't last year) and for being able to pluck and eat my first ripe fig. [​IMG]

          Today I am grateful for....not being a refugee.

          It would seem that today's photo of a drowned Syrian boy - shown widely in the media - has finally catalysed significant developments. Politicians appear to be concerned and are saying the right things about proposed actions...we shall see.

          Meanwhile there are many charities that are taking donations to help those in this crisis situation. A spokesman for one of these charities said that the public have shown eagerness at finally being able to do something to help i.e. not with the apathy that the media is depicting. This is heartening...that people still care and respond. [​IMG]

              I'm grateful for having had a wonderful sunny week in the Lake District and also grateful for not having been accosted by palliards - which happened four times in one day in London the other week.

                                My eldest son. For my 70th. birthday he edited the children's stories I have written over the years (and I mean YEARS) and published them in book form on Amazon. Thrilled does not cover half of it. One of my few ambitions now fulfilled. We have even sold a few as well, not that we intended to do that.
