Hi Maggie, John and Nigel

A palindrome is "a word or phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards, eg: madam".

William Ross Wallace 1819 - 1881 (Wallace was my Mum's maiden name so maybe I have some sort of illustrious ancestor?!) wrote "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Rules The World". I've just printed it off as it really is rather beautiful (and John, it rhymes!!!)

Last of all, Maggie, were you thinking of Slim Whitman (Country and Western singer - late 50's), as opposed to Walt Whitman (marvellous poet?) Slim Whitman's name popped into my head yestersday evening when I got home!

Enough! - great meeting last night - and see you next time! 

Have a good month.........Dorinda
