    I think The Bard would feel honoured.

    I so wanted to write that a lemon by any other name would taste just as sour but it didn't seem the thing to do!! Took enough poetic licence from Will as it was!

    You're all very kind - thank you - Jacqui I didn't want to see blood although I did initially!

    Such a wonderful take on his original words... he would be honored I'm sure. I am often fascinated with the different responses to each weeks Mag, but this week seems more varied than most to me.

    Barbara,

    When I hear the word "lemon", I reach for my sweetener.
