    What happened to Anna's 'Mandy from Pandy' post!?!? More teasing?! More flooding by the sounds of it! Hope you are ok!

    I have to leave the virtual world for about 90 minutes at half past so if no one knocks the coconut off its perch by then, there'll be an intermission I'm afraid...

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      I'm not playing and yet I am. Yes I completely understand.

            Miss Mandy from Pandy sends her regrets ........ I honestly thought I was killing the thread, so I deleted I mean, who wants to read about my experience in floods? I am not turning into Aqua Girl am I? No idea of mercia's Z, October 14th is actually date of battle of Hastings, actually took place at Senlac, not Hastings nor Battle. I know that because I worked for solicitor whose birthday was on that day.
