OK, add me in. GMT+1
Funny, I didn't know about the difference between American and English regarding the -tre or -ter endings. Like Lin said, it isn't a conscious thing. Now I can't remember which one I usually use. Probably the former.

This is the kind of thing I'm referring to: Twas just this time last year I died I know I heard the corn When I was carried by the farms It had the tassels on ... I thought just how red apples wedged The stubble's joints between And carts went stooping round the fields To take the pumpkins in Is it fallish? ![]()

My parents house has been in the family since the early thirties when my great grandfather bought it. It is divided into three definite sections the formost was built in the 17th century, the midpart in the 18th century and innermost section in the 19th century and early 20th century which makes it the oldest house in the community. |
