MM Links Week 3 August
66 Answers
Good Morning Linkers everywhere! This is Queen Alibobs once again.
Already it is Week 3 � Oh how time flies. There are not enough hours in the day sometimes! How have I been spending my time?
Well, last Sunday was a glorious day. Mr Bobs and I decided to take the train up to London, so we could have a stroll along the Thames and enjoy the weather. We didn't head off too early, 'cos Mr Bobs likes his Sunday lie-in and anyway only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun � Mr Bobs is Scottish and is quite sane, so falls into neither category!
We headed off up to London Bridge, but decided it would be quieter to wander around the City rather than along the Embankment, which is so busy this time of year. We passed Pudding Lane, the site where the Great Fire of London began. There is a sandwich shop there now, and I wonder where they get their bread from?
We sauntered past The Old Bailey, a magnificent building, its present form dates from 1807. Incredible to think what happens in that building with some of the more famous trials going on for months and months. We wandered around St Paul's Cathedral and I resisted the urge to burst into song a la Mary Poppins "All around the Cathedral, the saints and apostles look down as she sells her wares." Probably just as well as the only thing I have in common with a nightingale is I have the same birthday as Florence Nightingale! No, not the same year, Cheeky!
By this time, the sun was well past the yardarm and we end our visit with a trip to the pub. I don't remember much after that!

Seekeerz, the Glorious Twelfth is indeed the first day of the grouse shooting season in this isle!
My links are all to do with twelve, ie dozen, twelfth of never, twelfth night, and a jury having twelve men.
The clues in my preamble included hours, yard, apostles, midday and Florence Nightinglale's birthday is 12th May!

The Glorious Twelfth
This is an absolute MUST for any of you who are into Country Sports; there is a charming, witty, satirical and thoroughly amusing little book with line drawings to match, called The Twelfth & After by J.K.Stanford. It seems to be readily available (mainly at sporting shops), and I see there is 1 copy on e-bay (99p). My copy cost 18 shillings in 1964.

Yes Ally Lally, every week. There are two versions the MM Links where the supreme champion from previous month sets 4 link words for all to try to match. Comp closes there at 1900 each Sunday. Crofter then does the scoring and pronounces the results.
The other Links is KM (Kate Mepham - daughter of the late Mike Mepham) Kate's link words from the Sat Tel GK x word are to be matched with her link words in the Mon Tel Herculis. Steff (aka seekeerz) keeps the scores. Enjoy - many of us do on a weekly basis and welcome!!
