As I sit threading ribbons onto the Parachute Regiment's Christmas cards I have read quite a number of these excellent articles. Thanks for putting the link up.

I would have the most interesting blog if I had one. . . "Got up, went to work, worked, went home, ate, bed. Got up, went to work. . . etc" AND I'm taking the threading home tonight!
