Ydc 103

[NuttyKrafts]

Doesn't time fly, three weeks today will see the start of YDC 103.

Thanks to Al's generous bidding, I won the last YDC so get to choose this month's charity. In memory of my neighbour, Frank, who died on the first day of my first YDC, I have chosen L.O.R.O.S. - the Leicestershire and Rutland hospice who do such good work and as I expect you already know, like all hospices around the country, rely heavily on charitable donations. If you would like to have a look at their web site, it's here

Now for some reason, I seem to have gained a reputation for being a bit nutty - I have no idea why. Oh, wait a minute, it's on my siggy! So the rule of this month's YDC is fun, fun and more fun.

To get you in the mood, I'd like to tell you a little anecdote about Frank, who had a very dry sense of humour! On his wedding day to Veronica 51 years ago, he turned up wearing all his medals ( he had been in the Grenadier guards) she had no idea about these and when she asked, he told her he'd just borrowed them from the doorman at the hotel round the corner.

Happy YDC!

Great choice!

Love the story - and my father's name is Frank and he has a similar sense of humour

Here's another one.
After the Grenadier guards, Frank joined the Kenyan police and would send postcards with pictures of African women and children depicted home to his mother telling her they were his wives and kids!

LMAO! He sounds like he was quite a character and a lot of fun. Great choice for YDC, kudos!

Best wishes for many sales to all,

We don't want to lose the thread already

No worries. I am back home and aim to keep this near the top

Hi Meebo, nice to see you home again. Hope you had a good journey back

I'm sure between the two of us we can keep it up there

[Tropical_Trish]

Yes, keep it up!
As you say, page 2 is not on, and neither is page three -
good heavens, we don't know who will start showing their 'cough' credentials ...lol!
Lets do our best for this great cause - Frank seemed like such a great character Nutty. Hopefully we will do him and your wonderful choice for YDC103 proud. I'm already sorting out some goodies to list.

Hi meebo, we missed you.
Any chance of some fresh bread with the coffee and tea tomorrow morning?

I hope there will be more Frank stories - he sounds to have been a great chap!

Welcome back meebo - hope your return journey was a good one.
