		<description>Very true Ian, I notice that when I return from a couple of days in the south my arms and shoulders ache.  It is from all the hugging.  Roll on March!</description>

		<description>Grannymar, One of the things I noticed moving south is that people in Dublin are much more tactile than in the North.  Handshakes and hugs and kisses are frequent here.  I noticed in Austria that even the English are becoming much more continental, I met an English woman with whom I had skied last year and it was automatic to exchange kisses.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Nancy ~ Thank You.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;Sneezy ~ I left that 'touched' out on purpose I am a life member!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Baino/Bano ~ I am a natural 'huggy' person.  Jack never crossed the room without touching me in some way, a hug, a squeeze, a gentle caress of my face or a pat on the bottom.  I have to admit I miss that.  E&#038;G are huggers, but alas the people round DON'T!&lt;br /&gt;
Look at the list; very eminent writers who ooze magic from their fingertips.  I am a bluffer compared to most of them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gary ~ Thank you for the hugs, and mind the €’s. ;)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Aww Grannymar. I just want to come over and give you a big squeeze. I've been lucky to have lots of hugs this week. My best friend has a 'seven second hug' rule. If I'm feeling down she'll just hang on - none of this pat on the back and on your way and my sister's a big hugger too so I'm very lucky. Well done on the nomination. Well deserved, particularly for your reminiscences of a time gone by and you're the most loyal of commenters. I hope you're elevated to the top ten. (Then you'll just have to go to the soiree!) I'll send you one of those tricycles with a little flag!</description>
