Pope Died In future, if Prince Charles decides to re-marry please warn the Pope!! Can't say about the first 3, but #4 statement in the frist series is incorrect. John Paul II (the Pope who died earlier this year) became Pope not in 1981 but in 1978. I remember it very well, because we - DH, 18months old DS, and I - were in Poland for 5 months (DH's sabbatical) at the time, and the whole country went wild, when his election had been announced. We (the 3) were planning to go to Italy for a couple of weeks to visit friends and had to postpone the trip, because it seemed like half of the country wanted to go for the installation, and not a compartment was to be had on any of the trains going to Rome. And we had to have one, because Danek was so little, and likely to prove a nuisance to other passengers, otherwise. By the time he was 3.5 (1981), he was a seasoned traveller and a very well-behaved child (we took him with us everywhere, which he loved, but with the proviso that he behaved appropriately to the situation, which he did, so as not to be left behind) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Spider raffle - winners
Dear friends, I am sure you will be pleased to hear, that my husband kindly drew two names out of the bag, of 99 names, on pieces of paper. I took the opportunity of adding those of you, who continually brighten and enthuse Arachne, but did not ask to be entered in the draw, thinking if one of your names were picked, you would really have a surprise, or could put it forward for raffling again, if you really do not want it, and unbeknown to all of you, there are two Spider pin/broaches. I am happy to say that the winners are first Micki Cameron, if you would please let me have your snail mail address I can post it to you. The second is for Tess, which I was so pleased, as I thought it was something for you Tess, after all your hard effort and the Professor of course, for Arachne. If you can also please let me have your snail mail address, I can post it to you. Thank you all for taking part, Kind regards, Pauline in Somerset.

[lace-chat] Soil or Source
Hello all, Regarding 'place' of birth over 'source' of birth - quotoed from "What Makes Canada Cool?" www.canadacool.com "Ottawa, Ontario - In 1943 Princess Margriet Francisca (younger sister of Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard, the current Queen of the Netherlands) was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. She is only royal ever to be born in North America. The Dutch Royal Family had fled to Canada in 1940 after the WWII invasion of their country. Among their problems - the expected royal child needed to be delivered on Dutch territory to be a Dutch citizen. So, this one hospital maternity room was temporarily ceded to the Netherlands. Each year Ottawa receives 20,000 tulip bulbs from the Royal Family and the Dutch Bulb Growers, as a thank you for sheltering the Royal Family, and for Canada's help with liberation of the Netherlands during WWII. Each May the gardens of Ottawa burst into bloom and the city celebrates the world's largest tulip festival. About three million flowers blossom in the region, 300,000 of them at Commissioners Park near Dows Lake." As far as ambassadors' children are concerned, is not the embassy considered 'home'land? That is, the Canadian Embassy in whatever country is Canadian soil.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thanks
Hi Secret Pal, Thanks for this months parcel of goodies. I love the needle case and my aunty who is a lace maker and a bobbin maker will be very jealous when I tell her about the rescued trees! The bobbin is very unusual and I don't have another like it. I also love the spangles and will put them to good use. I had guessed in the end that you must of been here or sent someone else who was over. What a great pity that I missed you and Faye it would of been so lovely to meet you! I was at work but only work a mile away and could of popped home if I'd known you were coming. I'm surprised that you found our house at all ! Friends here have a problem with the aptly named Wigley Road and I'm not surprised you got lost trying to return ! What a fantastic trip you made and you were very lucky to visit so many countries and so many lace places! The past months have gone so quickly and I can't believe next month is the last. Until then, Your Secret Pal, Anne Nicholas Hanworth Middx.

[lace-chat] Final Rehearsal of Mozart
Dear Friends, Tonight was the final rehearsal for our Mozart Concert next Sunday Afternoon and it promises to be a stunner. Sarah BARLOW who is playing the slow movement from the Clarinet Concerto just melted our hearts. She did it from memory and was absolutely flawless. God alone knows how she managed those very long breaths, especially seeing as how she's about 8 months pregnant!! Thye orchestra are playing "La Clemenza di Tito" Overture and Peter MANDER is singing a well known aria from "Tbe Magic Flute". Then the men from the Choral Society are singing a rousing rendition of the Austrian National Anthem (in German of course) which was formerly attributed to Mozart but is now known to have been written by Johann HOLZER. After interval we are performing Mozart's glorious "Requiem" with soloists, Suzanne DONALD, soprano, (who has recently returned from a number of years in New York); Linlee WILLIAMS, contralto (Music teacher at Eltham High School); Peter MANDER, tenor, and Nick STANSBIE, Baritone. The conductor is the inspirational Willem van der VIS, who despite his obviously Dutch surname, actually hails from Invercargill, New Zealand! Everything went smoothly tonight and I came home, exhausted yet replete. Come if you can - it'll be well worth the trip (2:00 p.m. Lydiard Street Uniting Church, about AUS$25 :) Love David in Ballarat -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Tamara wrote: While I was teaching we had a problem with the son of two of our teachers. They had four sons and been in Australia for a couple of years. The youngest of their sons was born while they were there. He was going on a trip with a group from the school in England to Italy and was going on a group passport as he didn't have one of his own - he'd come back to England from Australia on one of his parents' passports. He didn't go on the school trip because he couldn't be included on the group passport. As far as the authorities were concerned this was for British citizens and he wasn't - his birth certificate was issued in Australia so he was Australian. It had never occurred to his parents that there might be a problem, and they did get his citizenship sorted out (think he might have dual citizenship), but not in time for that school trip.
