In the Beginning

The Lord he created the heavens and Earth, the firmament, land sea and sky, the flora, the fauna, and Adam and Eve as the Bible says, but I ask why does it not mention some of his finest designs that we enjoy, living life to the full, and without them all, life would not be a ball, and in fact would be terribly dull. Like cheese and tomato, a great combination, alone, without dressing, they're fine, and chutney, that's one of his mightiest creations, on Pork pie, like God, it's divine. That apple that hung on the tree of all knowledge, 'don't eat it' was the only rider, Adam and Eve got a taste, what a terrible waste, would have been better off in a Cider. Real Ale- an invention that's not got a mention 'till Monks brewed, though I do have a hunch that after creation, day seven God rested, sat down to a fine ploughman's lunch.

Indeed, Andrea, when Jesus fed the five thousand with loaves and fishes, he'd have got more converts if he'd done a ploughman's, I think. Viv x
