A PENIS IS FOR PEEING!" I think it's a 2-year-old thing. Of course, we're Unitarians, which is the next best thing to being an atheist, so nobody really cared. Speaking of atheists, I loved the atheist ceiling decor.

I would like to quote Belloc on this but I can't remember the quote so I'm not gonna try, but he wrote a beautiful description of water rushing under a stone bridge.<br /><br />The "free range children" made me laugh. A friend of mine spent some time in Sudan. He flew Sudan-Air once (never again, it had to make several attempts to take off and the dodgy air-pressure made his ankles swell up!).

And the food hasn't changed. Didn't go into the church though so that was nice to see. Did, however, do the 2 hour hydrofoil trip to Venice, a visit to the Lim Fjord (where they filmed the 60s classic 'The Vikings' with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis as convincing Northmen) and the Postojna Caves which were huge and fab and had their own colony of axolotls.Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917676458656665193.post-42303805781497649332009-06-29T09:44:44.253+01:002009-06-29T09:44:44.253+01:00I'm getting a general warm feeling that you lo...I'm getting a general warm feeling that you loved the place and miss the bread.
