He was selling something for Boy Scouts and there was a retired gentleman who invited us into this garden, he was very excited to show us his moonflower vine and told us that it would only bloom at night...the vine looked lovely growing along his fence, and he told us the bloom is pure white. <br />The gentleman has passed away now...when I pass his house, I will think, 'stillness and peace". Lovely, thank you.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-16680020617464733142015-07-20T08:11:27.611-04:002015-07-20T08:11:27.611-04:00I haven't had the chance to read a book to a c...I haven't had the chance to read a book to a child so I can't say I've read one enough to memorise it.

Most are sharp and angular with pointed teeth sometimes which is the exact opposite of the normal round faced, soft mouthed animals in children's books at that time. Seen the Grinch and Horton Films at Christmas. Just watched The Imitation Game. Brilliant. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.com
