Eternal Refuge

Today is a special day for 4 of my f-list ... So, in geographical order. let me wish

oldgreymare  - who is a truly special friend from "down-under"

cordykitten  - who is brilliant at keeping me amused through the year

wendybt7  - who lives near where I grew up

and unbridled_b  - who hasn't been around much recently

... A really special day.

I hope that you have enjoyed ... are enjoying ... will enjoy your birthday; and that in the coming year your dreams will come true.

Over the years I have cleaned the copper and brass in Mum and Dad's about 5 times a year - although I have recently realised that last year I didn't do it at all - So, this morning I made a start on some of it -
