My mother worried that we would not eat until she got home after 6 so at the weekend she made a great pan of soup, bones for the stock, thick with barley... Lasted till Wednesday by which time it was so thick.... Mothers and food, hey! Starts at our birth and never stops... bless them all!

I used to think like that and now I am at the centre of a lively and caring little community, warts and all..thought I was destined for a lonely old age.. My family boss still frets me my having food in stock etc.. and torches etc etc etc.. and hey we care!
