I always remember my mother , who was a health visitor , telling me when I had a small baby not to worry about dirty old men but to worry about lovely clean children harbouring germs. In those days measle , mumps and chickenbox were still common. It still is a good piece of advice.

My dad told me, "Start as you mean to go on." Sounds easy but sometimes you start without necessarily knowing how you mean to go on. Then you might have to start again.

Aldom
Written in Granny's autograph book, March 9th, 1913 by Daddy.

Don't look for the flaws as you go through life,
And even when you find them,
It is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.

Wise words.

Wise words indeed. If only I could live by them, being an over critical Virgo. Must try harder!
