It is funny how such a small reference to Neandertal remnants in our souls, should waken the slumbering list almost like Sleeping Beauty :-) Almost to showing some fire and passion not seen for yonks.Such a volume of mail from folks who ,like me have been sitting quietly reading the occasional CH posting. Nice to see we are all still inthe world and just getting a little older, but not wiser with time. Wth the start of August it is time for me to start some seeds and begin to restore the chile patch in the garden. Tony Flynn Grandad. Retired at the Beach Bay of Plenty. New Zealand
