OH is a massive Man City fan (no abuse thankyou!) and for those that don't know, "Blue Moon" is their anthem! 1 simply comes from the fact that somebody else has used Bluemoon as their username before me. Come on Barcelona!!

I'm a huge R.E.M. fan and my name comes from a song of theirs, the 4 is in reference to the misprint that they did on track number 4.

After realtor's commission, lawyers fees, capital gains tax, paying off the mortgage, tractor loan etc, I'll be comfortable, thanks. It's been worth coming to Canada for.

2 offers, both countered, both potential buyers have their own places to sell, so no deal done so far.

Default Re: Where did your name come from?

Black Adder I believe, although initially my daughter used to get called Mrs Miggins be her dad, and I thought it was cute so nicked it for here.

Unfortunate thing is, people apparently expect a little farmer woman or something before they meet me........................well they have the little right, but that's about it!

Hope you guys are all keeping well!
Mrs Miggins. x

Default Re: Where did your name come from?

It relates to a book I am writing and researching also

"Paradise Regained" by John Milton 1671

and this poem sprang to mind

Long ago I wished to leave
"The house where I was born;"
Long ago I used to grieve,
My home seemed so forlorn.
In other years, its silent rooms
Were filled with haunting fears;
Now, their very memory comes
O'ercharged with tender tears.

Life and marriage I have known.
Things once deemed so bright;
Now, how utterly is flown
Every ray of light!
'Mid the unknown sea, of life
I no blest isle have found;
At last, through all its wild wave's strife,
My bark is homeward bound.

Farewell, dark and rolling deep!
Farewell, foreign shore!
Open, in unclouded sweep,
Thou glorious realm before!
Yet, though I had safely pass'd
That weary, vexed main,
One loved voice, through surge and blast
Could call me back again.

Though the soul's bright morning rose
O'er Paradise for me
