I can't remember turning the ReCaptcha on - perhaps it's a standard Blogger setting? Glad that at least there's been an improvement.<br />KKatharine D'Souzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324719518391248689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837192374891123787.post-92065055048915521012012-07-17T14:58:49.846+01:002012-07-17T14:58:49.846+01:00Ah, yes.

Their old system used such distorted letters I end up having to enter the letters 4 o 5 times. This one--only twice. What an improvement.Timberatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017106606021535783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837192374891123787.post-33657366980148875672012-07-16T10:43:30.808+01:002012-07-16T10:43:30.808+01:00Hi Norm - am sure your knowledge of British histor...Hi Norm - am sure your knowledge of British history exceeds what I know of the US. The following will show that I have only a tenuous grasp on British history too! Charles II had to go on the run after the Civil War until we realised that Cromwell's ideas were nuts and had the monarchy restored but kept the elected parliament. My favourite bit from that period is that Charles's wife Catherine of Braganza turned up from Portugal, asked for a cup of tea and a national trend was set. Sensible woman.<br /><br />Hi Lexi - I know! The rain is back today but there was about 2.5 minutes of sunshine on Saturday. I made the most of it.<br /><br />KKatharine D'Souzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324719518391248689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837192374891123787.post-53290328192737014392012-07-16T09:04:11.932+01:002012-07-16T09:04:11.932+01:00I'm okay with knot gardens, as long as I'm...I'm okay with knot gardens, as long as I'm not the one maintaining them. But the lavender and brick wall garden is lovely...<br /><br />And it's sunny!
