Hi

I'm in Berkshire UK. In Surrey there is a place called Runnymede, where the
Magna Carta was signed in 1215. It's quite a historic site. There's more
info here if you're interested!

I would think that Runnymede in Toronto was named after Runnymede in
England. Toronto was originally named York.......(big smile)

Auntie O,

I take it that I should be on the lookout for something?

Oh I thought we were passing hugs and warm smiles around

I just wanted to pass one onto you

If nothing have arrived at your house as yet Ophelia, you should be on the
look out for some mail.

Ooooooohhhh it arrived this morning))))))))) Thank you both very much)))
Nora,
please expect something in the post after all)

btw I got my Hickmanline removed yesterday so you can see I am on the
mend)

What a relief that must be O. Useful things, but not comfy, and a reminder
of being ill. Now to really start feeling better and hopefully getting
about more
Love, hugs and glad you're feeling better
Christine

I've been posting for months and lurking even longer. We are such a
diverse
group! But I wonder...where are we all from?

I'm in the US, in Pennsylvania.

Darlene, you by chance going to the "One of a kind" show the end of
November? We might be going down to my sister's around the corner from you
and staying to go.

It's a very small world because I lived at Donland's and O'Connor
before I was married.

Yes Darlene, we did talk about that. I used to go the the East end
recreation center a lot, and cycled to my friends house who lived in
Leaside. It is indeed a very small world

The Runnymede in England does have a lot of meadowland running down to
the River Thames, even today. I can just imagine it full of bunnies and
deer (and children and ice cream vans in summer).

Ophelia, this was Mirjam's original Idea, and you are not to look back but
look forward....take something you like out of the envelope and add
something of your own to pass on. It becomes to complicated if you would
have to look over you shoulder and start sending items to where this
(chain,) textile sharing came from. Just adde to the notes what you took
and what you added, more or less.
