Paul and Zita say that the winter has been one of almost unpecidented rain.. and so it goes on. Sort of around 9am this morning. ...here we are at around 5pm and the rain and wind have increased in intensity....tomorrow.... ...they say....(weather forecast) ... the day will be joyous and full of sunshine ...wind...and whatever else the Atlantic might have in store.

Peckham Rye Nanny Freakishness and Mothers wishes!

On the way to Play Tai Chi. Walking through the Rye Gardens we passed a young nanny "caring" for two children. The one she had on a bench near the pram while the other was a pathway away playing with a stick...digging the ground...laughing and having a jolly good 5 year old time digging the ground.........as one would. Shrieking the child's name the nanny ran past and then stopped suddenly at the edge of the path where it met the grass. She was stuck. Interspersed with shrieking the child's name she now commanded that he come to her. "Paralyzed".... unwilling to walk on the grass to where he was playing to retrieve him. The smiling child obeyed. Within range she ripped him from the "filthy" grass. Safe on the nice clean tarred path. She wrenched the "filthy" stick from his hand ...flinging it wide.....and.........continued to shriek. Not sure why the yelling continued....but hey! The shrieking grew softer as the distance grew between us.
