    mckrowdy reacted to Geebee's post in the thread Eucalyptus trees - when do they smell? with Like Like.
    They are aromatic, more so in hot weather, of course. In the days before airconditioned airports, when one walked down stairs from the aircraft, returning travellers could smell they were home. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, have a blue...

    mckrowdy reacted to jungleboy's post in the thread 25 km per day? with Like Like.

    mckrowdy reacted to HopefulServant's post in the thread Queues at the Cathedral? with Like Like.
    This thread made me chuckle at my memory of being at the Pilgrim Mass and returning from receiving Communion only to find our pew was miraculously repopulated during our absence... :)

    You're right - I agree, except for the part about loving the thread. 😞. I rarely get involved in these sorts of discussions on the forum. And, when I do, I almost always regret it, as is the case this time. But every now and then, some comments...

    My first winter following the death of my wife was........ Empty. I have a wonderful son, but my wife was my best friend. Not the same. I'm living in a strange land, and at that point I had yet to really learn any proper German. To top it all...
