All the men looked like pretty normal clothes wise - jeans and polos etc, nothing that would stand out as different, yet them women all stood out like a sore thumb? It made me want to research more, the girl mentioned High School, so I guess once they reach 11+ they are taught outside the village? Yes, there's a community college nearby. The children, mainly the girls do "stand out" it has to be said, even if in more mainstream clothing, they all wear a head scarf covering which rather singles them out if you bump into them in Sainsburys say, but used to it now - I hadn't realised it was a world wide community though.

zigzag Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 4 hours ago, louby loo said: And a question for Sunnyday if you're around - Have you had the email with the update EYA ? (preschool alliance) If so have you manage to find the policies updates page? I had the correct page saved as a favourite and it used to take me straight where I wanted, now all I can find is that 'you have made purchases'😭 The old link I used is no longer working. Thankfully I printed off a few pages of updates last week, so hopefully I'm pretty up to date. Log into your account, then go to shop and scroll down to downloads. Click on downloads and it should take you through to a list of your purchases that have updates. Give me a shout if this doesn’t work xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Oh my word I am so behind with everything on this thread!

You do briefly see the workshops, but predominately it about the people who live there and their beliefs. I found that absolutely fascinating - thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Spooky goings on here I could hear a small child repeatedly saying in a really sad little voice "Hello", "Hello", "Hello" - went to investigate, no child to be seen, thought 'that is coming from neighbours but I know they are out' - hmm, what to do......

He is very friendly, but my cat's not that keen on him, it's a difficult situation as he is very much an outdoor cat, it's fine at the moment as the weather is not to bad- but come the winter we may have to rehome him to a shelter.... in the mean time he brings us the daily gifts. I guess if our cat accepts him we'll end up keeping him though- but I really don't want another cat! He has just come in while I've been typing this and eaten our cat food 🤣 Note: I have made the owners sound mean, but they're not really-they are just a bit naive .... They are the only young couple in a road of 'oldies', they have twin children aged around 3-4, and the cat just seems to like 'quiet people' hence coming to us, also to our very elderly next door neighbour who feeds all kind of wildlife. The cat owner seem to think that as the cat likes the outdoors he can just happily live down our end of the road and drift between us and next door! He is the most loving and docile cat I've ever met, but he doesn't really like being with more than two people at any time- he would make an excellent 'company' cat for the right person/couple. Any takers? I will deliver! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
