There is so much for us to explore in ourselves, our past .. were we travellers in another time .. easy to think so sometimes – just rather glad I’m in the 21st century though. It’s so interesting going back and forth reminding us where we came from .. <br /><br />Thank you – I think a Guinness on a cool, damping, dark grey English lunchtime might be quite nice – but the rest of the day will go in a haze ... it’s great to see you here .. well done on getting your new publication out – that’s brilliant .. enjoy the rest of the week - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-67897385800037363752010-03-25T11:20:10.368+00:002010-03-25T11:20:10.368+00:00You are an amazing historian and unconscious time ...You are an amazing historian and unconscious time traveller who invites readers on a journey back through their inner selves and forgotten memories.

As my boyfriend is a chef and teaches a new course about food and culture, I have told him he MUST read your posts. <br /><br />For example, I knew about a stout beer from my son-in-law. This is the type of beer he frequently orders, but I didn't know how it got it's name or about the roasting of the barley. <br /><br />You make history fun.

I hope your treatments have been successful .. and will make a big difference to you. <br /><br />I think I agree a quiet day is a good thing. But I do enjoy oysters. How wonderful to be able to see the sea and oyster farms .. lovely vistas. Yes – there are micro breweries coming into existence, which I think is great .. I’m not a big beer lover – but I don’t like losing traditional foods and drinks. Corned beef –that’s interesting .. corned beef I thought originated from South America – Argentina or Brazil – I’ll have to find out. <br /><br />Americans certainly go to town on St Patrick’s Day – painted shamrocks everywhere .. & Rainbows .. how wonderful .. we have damp today, but probably no shining sun to brighten us with coloured half circles ..<br /><br />Thank you for coming by – Mum is ‘better’ and that’s the main thing .. she’s still not completely well – but we keep going .. thank you - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-36494470631122415252010-03-19T04:32:13.348+00:002010-03-19T04:32:13.348+00:00I discovered I have nothing green in my closet thi...I discovered I have nothing green in my closet this year - but did not worry as I spent the day out of society having a laser treatment and acupuncture. I think I enjoyed the quieter version of the day.<br />We have lots and lots of oysters here - they are still cheap food/but all the little Olympia Oysters are long since gone. I can see the mussel farms out my porch window and they go on for miles and miles.<br />We have a great many micro breweries here also and they have specialty foods to go with...<br />and two pubs specialize in corned beef for the occasion...<br />many streets have shamrocks painted on them...and quite often we have a good rainbow or two between rain showers <br />Fun fun sharing thank you..glad all is settling down with your mumPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649391137077220495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-35473529301466944802010-03-18T21:58:12.118+00:002010-03-18T21:58:12.118+00:00Hi Wilma ..

A Glaswegian took her day off - another of those Irish emigrees!<br /><br />I don't know if that's right .. the Wikipedia site says it .. I just thought it was interesting! It's not on the Guinness site!<br /><br />Americans love St Patrick's day .. at least it's vegetable dye ... I made a cake for a boss' birthday one year .. it was a fruit cake .. multi-coloured .. it was a shock to all concerned - tasted ok though!!<br /><br />Thank goodness we're not having to pull the coats round us .. might still have them on .. but not drawn tight! I know .. we get summer and light .. and you're moving towards coolness - sorree!!! Warm cosy evenings though .. xoxo HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-9959744707796948962010-03-18T21:49:12.772+00:002010-03-18T21:49:12.772+00:00Hi Hilary.
