My old mum used to say.................

My mum used to say that with every dawn.........................

comes a clean slate.......!!

As soon as I began truffling through my attic clearance treasures I first came up with this................

...and then this..................

and then this.

I realised that I like what I do too much to be affected by just one person where the concept of patience clearly doesn't exist in her life!   
On a lighter note, my new word of the week is  RACOON . I have never seen one, know nothing about them - and, actually, might quite like one as a pet. Can you imagine me walking through our local town with one on a lead? Unfortunately, we don`t get them in France, and in fact I know nothing about them - but haven`t they got nice faces?!! Any racoons for donation should be packaged well and posted to the chateau; and I promise not to be impatient if there are delays in postage!!!!
I'm moving on from that subject now, but not without ending the subject by thanking all those who have sent fabulous messages of support.
