Happy Easter lovely people 
I'm not very well hence I haven't been around. See you all again soon 
Happy Easter everyone.
Squiggle, I reckon quite a few people will have forgotten to change their clocks.
Get well soon, Moonie.
We are visiting PB and BB this afternoon, to take over their Easter gifts. Looking forward to seeing them!
Have a lovely day everyone, catch up later.
I hope you feel better really quickly Moonie, rotten timing to be ill on a bank holiday weekend

Interesting article particularly for those in Northern England.
Velvet, although a large proportion of our church congregation are of retirement age, there are youngsters as well.
The vicar started her Easter sermon, then spotted some young children at the front who had been given some Easter pictures to colour in. The vicar came down from the pulpit talking to one of the children who she had spotted in church a couple of weeks ago. She introduced the girl to the congregation and talked to us about the picture that the girl had coloured in. After a bit she magicked a small chocolate egg out of her pocket and gave it to the girl as a thank you for her pretty picture. And that was the sermon. Somewhat impromptu but I'm sure that the girl in particular will remember it for some time.

We had an interim minister. I felt he lacked oomph. And the demographics are terrible in the church these days. There's no youth
I saw the start of the Easter Service on BBC from St. Alban I think. What tickled me was that the opening hymn was 'Jesus Christ is Risen Today, Hallelujah' and I have never seen such gloomy faces singing it 
If you can't be joyful about that heaven help you. We have so many children in the church I go to now that when they go to Sunday School that's half the church gone - wonderful 
We have littlies tottering about all over the place, it's lovely.
Squiggle, I played back the St Albans Easter Service on iPlayer. I see what you mean about gloomy faces. I could see happier faces in the congregation but the cameras did seem to focus in on some particularly unhappy ones.
Although it is a C of E cathedral it also has a weekly Roman Catholic mass, the liturgy of the Russian Orthodox Church and worship in the German Lutheran and English Free Church traditions. The service you saw was a combined service so the congregation would have been multi-denominational.
Good evening and happy Easter to you all I just don't know where the day has gone!
Weve done a lovely walk, got soaked, had a hot bath and I've painted my nails while Bramble snored lol
moonie, I hope you feel better soon. Have a big (((hug)))
yogi, I can't wait to here the latest PB/BB update

Summer, that article may interest you
That was very interesting El, I didn't know that. I don't think they'd be very welcome these days would they lol
ive just pressed play on Gone With The Wind I love these old movies that begin with the credits and epic music 
I didn't watch much of it EL, I saw the swinging incense and quit, I'm not a fan of High Church, I prefer a more informal worship.
Oh I love the costumes already! And ladies having a nap at a BBQ/ball party, what fun
Summer, I hope you enjoy Gone with the Wind
Squiggle, I saw as much of that service as you did. I know that many people love the swinging incense but I'm not one of them. Where I live there are Church of England churches which vary from very informal to high so that there is a wide choice.
Evening all.
I've had a lovely day and I hope you all have too.
Happy Easter to you too, Baz and Velvet.
Evening yogi how was your day?
My goodness, I had no idea this movie would get so dramatic 
I'm tense watching it!

Evening Summer.
My day was good thanks. Out for lunch, visited PB and BB, saw a beautiful rainbow and had a quick visit from middle son and DiL.
lol Are you still watching Gone With The Wind?
I haven't had any dinner tonight so I'm off to make some toast - back in ten minutes.
velvet donkey posted:Flying visit. Yogi I love you - you knew that anyway
Right back at you, Velvet.
Lol velvet you are so much fun
sorry yogi, my phone rang.

No problem, I went off to make some toast.
No spoilers from me, my lips are sealed.
PB did like her gifts. BB slept through the visit.
He's a real sleepy beauty isn't he! He might even be better at it than I am 
He really is. He reminds me so much of my middle son who either ate or slept for the first eight weeks of his life.

He was still a good baby but he stayed awake longer. Once he got onto his feet, he was into everything!
He'll do just fine then yogi, he'll keep you all on your toes soon enough hehe

I don't doubt it!
I'm going to get off and read for a while.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer and Velvet.
Get well hug for Moonie and night owl hug for Ros.
Goodnight yogi enjoy your book and sleep well
What the heck?! did she ever get him back..? What became of them? 
It's ok- Baz has explained it to me 
i wasn't expecting it to end there
night yogi summer velvet hope you feel better soon moons
Good morning everyone.
Weather is dry and overcast atm.
Out for a catch up with my best friend today.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone
A very wet and windy night here but nowhere near as bad as on the news further south. I hope Storm Katie hasn't caused any problems for anyone here
Yogi, I'm glad you had a good time with PB and BB and that PB liked your gifts
Summer, you may be interested to hear that there is a book sequel to Gone with the Wind called Scarlett. It was written by Alexanfra Ripley rather than Margaret Mitchell. It's about what happens to Scarlett after the conclusion of GWTW.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scarle...s-Gone/dp/0330307525
You will see on that link that a DVD is also available. That's an American TV mini-series obviously with a different cast. Note that according to a Wiki article it diifers to the book in plotlines. Although it says it's playable in all regions it's in NTSC format rather than the UK PAL format.
Good morning everyone, we've had quite a pounding from Storm Katie overnight but it's quieter now.
Summer you did make me laugh with your running commentary on Gone With The Wind. It certainly is an epic story. I'm a purist and if Margaret Mitchell left it there then that's where I leave it too. I'm the same with Pride & Prejudice, the original author's vision for me, but we are all different aren't we? I think I read the book before I saw the film and it is the image that was in the book that is strongest in my mind. Say what you like about Scarlett she certainly had a mind of her own
Have a lovely catch up with your best friend Yogi, and enjoy your day everyone
Good morning it's overcast but not bad here, I hope all of you in storm Katie's path stay warm, dry and safe
what are your plans today?
Yogi go I hope you have a wonderful day with your best friend
squiggle I'm glad I've entertained you I was very surprised at where it ended, but now it's sunk in, I do think it a good ending. Scarlett and rett are brilliant characters, it's just a shame there wasn't a happy ending for them.
El, I'm going to read that article now and then come back with a review for you. Did the original author know about the sequel?
