    Watersprout - I am so happy for you both, I'm sure he will love his new career. Be a proud Army wife on this Saturday's Armed Forces Day.

    Star Tiger - good luck with the RAF. My son is in the RAF as a physical training instructor. You will learn to hate PTIs

    haha maybe they will cut you some slack. The problem is they run up moutains for fun and can't understand why everybody else isn't the same.

    My non JW Uncle is an Engineer at the Royal Mint in Wales....could that be where you are going?? He lives in a 300 year old stone cottage in a small village by the Sea. There are ruins of a beautiful castle just a short walk through the field behind their home.

    When I was there last, my aunt's car had been recently hit by another car as she was pulling out of her driveway. Another man stopped and gave her his phone number in case she needed a witness for insurance purposes etc. A few days later a couple of people knocked at the door and said something about being witnesses or something so my aunt thought they were there about the accident. She directed them out to speak to her husband who was cutting the grass in the back garden. When she looked out the window later she saw her husband going back and forth across the lawn with the mower, continuing to cut the grass as the two people trotted along beside him. She thought he was being terribly rude and had decided to give him a good scolding when he came inside. Later he explained the two people were (you guessed it) JW's.

    I told my Aunt about H.B.H (home but hiding) She thought that was hysterical and thought it was even funnier that JW's know that's what most people do.

    They are everywhere but at least you won't know them personally. All the best to you in your new situation.
