Certainly difficult times, whilst I would love to visit I am not so keen on the mosquitoes. mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-51881529532701454372015-08-18T21:59:01.125-07:002015-08-18T21:59:01.125-07:00That is such an interesting history in the souther...That is such an interesting history in the southern states.

Is there some historical book on this<br />subject???? I do love my historical facts.<br /><br />Bloody mosquitoes!!! I was told when I visited Charleston, SC that from these paddy fields<br />mosquitoes rake havoc!<br />Cheers<br />Colin<br />PS: Again another un-August day, cloudless, windless, warm and sunny.<br />Pity I have another useless afternoon at that bloody<br />hospital for tests - they better give answers this time - 18 months is a long time to "fiddle"<br />and totally annoy me. No results from their examinations this time and I am pulling the bloody<br />plug on them.Huggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-88822263527616767942015-08-18T13:15:58.154-07:002015-08-18T13:15:58.154-07:00An interesting insight into life on the plantation...An interesting insight into life on the plantation.
