In other news, Michael is away at the moment, has been for about 1½weeks, will be back in 1½weeks. Boohoo! And the week after that is the holiday club at St.L...

Musings of a Strawberry: Yellow ribbons
http://sal-ichigo.blogspot.com/2008/11/yellow-ribbons.html
Musings of a Strawberry. This is the part of the web where the strawberry comes out and makes a strange comment. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. On walking back from the station on Sunday night, I walked past a tree outside the Catholic church in the town centre. It was Remembrance Sunday and looking up, I saw what appeared to be a hundred or more yellow ribbons tied to the tree. It seemed an appropriate and beautiful thing to do on such a day.
