A delightful flock of cedar waxwings hopped along the trail with me for a time, eating these berries. (If you Google for images of cedar waxwings, you'll find that eating red berries is a very popular activity for them.)

Hi All & Tim
May I add my thanks to you all and wish you a happy Christmas and lots of good Voling together in 2018. I cannot wait. All those bonfires, cakes and sarcastic humour.
I thought I would be clever and write a piece about Tuesday incorporating some relevant quotes but the effort has quite overtaken me. So here instead are a few lines from a very wise & quotable Englishman .
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.
I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.
We forge the chains we wear in life.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else.
There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists.
There are loads more to choose from and I have to say I was very surprised, perhaps I should read some of his books instead of relying on BBC Childrens Dramas from my earlier years when, hard to believe I was a sprog with hopes and the occasional dream, many of which have been far exceeded in life.

Hi All,
Many thanks for all your hard work at Flitton Moor on Tuesday. We were slightly down on the usual numbers but it didn’t stop you getting a whole lot done! I know David was pleased with the result and in his own words:
Thanks to all those who turned out on Tuesday at Flitton Moor - you did an amazing job as always.
Re fencing: I was expecting at the very most that half of the fence would be completed - and you did 2 thirds of it. Well done. The FoFM will finish it shortly in the new year.
Thanks also to those who manned the fire - and dragged brash to it. Almost all the was cut down was burnt.
And a special mention to the 6 hardy souls who spent the morning digging nettles.
A Merry Christmas to all, and a healthy 2018,
David
Thank you also to Lucinda, Sue and Erika for helping out with refreshments at lunchtime and to Malcolm and Jackie for such a lovely cake.
The next Tuesday task will be at Sandy Smith on the 2nd January and will be doing a bit more thinning/coppicing in the plantation near the bridge over the Flit plus maybe a few other jobs.
But there will also be a task at Maulden Heath next Thursday (28th) if anyone wishes to come along. The task will be clearing brash and regeneration in the Adder Field and, of course, having a fire; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.
Thanks for all your hard work this year and I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wooden Shoe Books is Philadelphia's all-volunteer, anti-profit anarchist bookstore - since 1976. This is the first in a series of benefit shirts for the store, designed by long-time Shoe staffer Albo Jeavons. The series is called The Anarchist Spirit, and what better way to start it off than with: Pirates! quote Quotable Quote “They vilify us, the scoundrels do, when there is only this difference; they rob the poor under the cover of law, forsooth, and we plunder the rich under the protection of our own courage" Samuel Bellamy - Pirate - late 16' to early 1700s.

Hmm...what was the event of the day? Was it strange jumping bums? Nope. Was it the weird waitress at Johnny's? Nope. The blue-haired prostitute? Maybe! How about the flamboyant man who changed from his all black suit to the tan one, gave a fashion show, and then scaled the wall at American Home Signatures to get the price off of this cool picture? Yes! To make the experience richer, he added this quotable: "I am your own private Spiderman!"
Samual Johnson was a fascinating man who left a trail of greatness. From writing the first English dictionary, to a legacy of quotable sound bites.
Of course, without the genius of Boswell, Johnson would be far less fascinating of a character.

Following today's prompt "sort of"... I have not really scrapped using only stickers as embellishments. I think I have always had something else and I rarely use stickers now as it is.
My daughter was so excited to get a new srapbook kit for a late Christmas present and wanted me to do a page using her supplies. I was only too happy to oblige.
"You know what the funniest thing about Europe is?" recalls Vincent Vega in one of Pulp Fiction's most quotable scenes, "It's the little differences." One of which is mayonnaise, rather than ketchup, on "French fries." It's probably a good thing that Vega only ogled the Dutch as they "drowned" their fries in mayo; he may have been met with disapproval had he tried to order French fries in Holland. Here, they're called "patat." Traditionally served with a generous topping of mayonnaise, you can also add other condiments. I had my patat with mayo and peanut sauce: yum. Some other must-try Dutch culinary specialties are salted herring topped with diced raw onions (I had an issue with the texture) and the infamous, irresistible, highly-addictive stroopwafel: two thin (and dense!) waffles with a gooey layer of caramel sauce sandwiched between. They are sold in grocery stores by the pack, and can also be purchased warm off the griddle from street stands. Woah.
