We have a similar award of the Order of St George recorded on a war memorial in the Hunter Valley coalfields. A local historian has told us that these awards were spread out among the Entente Cordiale allies as an acknowledgement of the alliance.

It has been pouring rain since lunchtime. I have only had eight guisers so far. I have visions of having a lot of left over sweeties.

Last year I saw children in fancy dress in our car park downstairs. Perhaps they may have been visiting McDs.. Nothing last night at all, but I would not have expected it. I live in a security block of apartments where visitors need to be admitted through electronic buzzer. There are children who live here, but I am fairly sure there would be a big stink raised were someone to admit a group of non-residents. It sounds insular, but at least there are few visits from weird religious groups, salesmen selling discounts on gas and electricity etc.

Buy a bale. Help our Aussie rural communities and farmers. Another great cause needing support The High Country Patrol.

The only advantage I can see to living in the flat we're in at the moment is not getting any guisers. This also means that, unlike NEQ, there are no left-over sweeties ... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
There were, however, a couple of fully-made-up Goths in the corridor when I went downstairs to do the laundry earlier on.

We had no rain here at all. That's the awful Glasgow climate for you.

A "Scotland in London" sounds like an excellent idea!

On Saturday I saw a Syrian refugee woman hold out her arms to greet a Scottish friend with the word "Bosies!" She speaks in very broken English, but she's learning the important words!

Love it! ![[Axe murder]](graemlins/lovedrops.gif)
Talking of refugees and kindly acts, my brother and his girlfriend have decided that instead of Christmas presents from the family, they'd like us to give donations to refugees, which I think is a rather good idea, and as we have a refugee family sponsored by the Cathedral I think I'll put something in the collection plate for them.

His Majesty's Theatre is giving free panto tickets to the Syrian refugees. This time last year they were still in the camp in Jordan; this year they are trying to fathom out Dick Whittington in Aberdeen. I hope they enjoy it!
