We were going to start a competition here at Barns Cottage for Movember

This gives money towards cancer charities particularly for Prostate and Testicular types. I know what you are thinking, "Where in your packed life will you find the time to grow a moustache ?" ' Look, it's for a good cause, I 'll make the time'. After all I am an experienced slug balancer with many years of facial fungus to my name. People of a nervous disposition may wish to look away now.
I asked Housemate and H to join in to see who could grow the best 'tache in a month but amazingly they both demurred, leaving only me and Darcy to cultivate some whiskers. Now I appreciate that times are hard for everyone and there are many competing charities for the few quid you may have spare but if the pictures give you a small grin then any few bob would be appreciated to see if we can wipe out these awful diseases.
Highlight of Downton last night was Matthew's Lou and Andy moment when he leaped out of his wheelchair to stop drippy Lavinia from tripping over,so not paralised at all then ? yeh I know, Look Lavinia love you may as well pack up and go home now, we all know how this is going to end. Thomas "Arfur Daly"'the footman's lock up holding all his black market gear had to be trashed by him in a rare outbreak of emotion. The slightly less irritating daughter ran off with the world's least believable communist but was talked out of it in about fifteen seconds by her sisters. Finally and at last it looks like Lord Grantham is going to exercise his droit de seigneur with one of the maids. Glorious stuff.
I promise that Christmas will start tomorrow
