I make a monthly donation to the hospice in recognition of the loving care my mother received there in 1990 - but became concerned that a fee to another entity might be being deducted from my now monthly automatic payment. I had a ring this afternoon from the Hospice to assure me that my money in full goes towards the operation of the hospice and no professional fees or other payments are made to anyone else. I was thanked for getting in touch - so anyone else who has concerns should contact the Hospice direct for clarification and reassurance. The Hospice offers a wonderful service to patients and their families and I am forever grateful to the loving care my mother received.

Hi Neighbourly folk, this week something a bit different from Louise Thomas, who as well as taking a good picture can tell a good yarn.

"Continuing with the Christmas theme, this seems like a face only a mother could love. Like somehow evolution decided to put the turkey's guts on the outside of his neck, and what even is that dangly appendix bit between his eyes? Wiki says the longer your snood the more likely you are to successfully mate. No wonder he looks grumpy with all that going on on his face (although that could also be the time of year - December and American accents are known to cause extreme stress to his species). Male turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in full sail. Staglands."
