A scene I will always remember, was a row of cycles passing the screen, old boys pushing along with something attached to the front of the bike - covered. When they reached the park area, they unveiled - bird cages.... then, they hung these cages on branches of the trees, they did this each day. The joy on these elder faces will stay with me as they looked up at the birds chirping away merrily....

I've holidayed in Italy a few times and saw much the same behaviour patterns within families. Something that many British people seem to have foresaken.

Re: Why did you have children?
Is anyone watching "Child of our Time" - Prof. Robert Winston. It was on last night and I think another part is being shown tonight. It progresses various families from the birth of their child onwards. I watched it when the children featured were first born and now the children are 13 and on the threshold of being adult. The families are from differing backgrounds and have had differing experiences and fortunes over the years. The parents and childrens views are so various but all are fascinating. Well worth a watch.

you could always start a new similar one.
My answer to this thread would be, "a momentary lapse of reason"!
