“Good morning” and “Welcome” from Lady Radley (aka Handbaglady) to all
MM Linkers on this Autumn morning. I don’t know where September has
gone, as here we are on my last weekend as Royal Setter. I will
really miss the weekly challenge of setting new link words. May I
wish my successor my very best wishes for October and I sincerely hope
they have as much fun and enjoyment as I’ve had over the past four
weeks.

A few weeks ago, I reported on AB my working with children with
Special Needs and things were going well until the Government decreed
that all Special Needs children should be integrated into main stream
schools. I had been recruited by an agency called “Learning Support”
that was disbanded and we all had to re-apply for our old jobs (but
now operating through the main schools system). Economically, it was
obviously cheaper for a school to employ an unqualified person and
plough the spare cash back into the school budget. Fortunately, I
secured a position in a comprehensive school working with hearing and
visually impaired students. I really loved the challenge --
especially working with the visually impaired students. However, at
the end of the academic year (when several of my pupils left) there
were not enough new students to justify my job -- so once again I was
out of a job.

Building on my experience in the past as a Sunday School teacher, when
my Church needed a secretary I volunteered for the post. Unbeknown to
me at the time, I later learned that I also had to be a Church Elder;
so (in for a penny in for a pound) I took on both roles. Being church
secretary had its hairy moments! When the Church found itself in
between ministers, it was my job to ensure that we had visiting
preachers each Sunday. On one such occasion, I was unable to find
anyone -- so I had to step into the breach personally. I must have
done an okay job, but I created a worship group to ensure that the
situation didn’t arise again! However, I have spondylosis and my
mobility deteriorated to such an extent that I was eventually obliged
to resign both as elder and secretary.

Almost four years ago, my husband John was diagnosed with a brain
tumour and sadly he died the following Spring. The day before he
died, I fell down the stairs -- top to bottom. The whole length of my
right leg was bruised, but as I could walk I thought all was okay. In
July of that year, I was admitted to hospital with cellulitis and a
leg ulcer. Whilst I was in hospital, they X-rayed my right leg and
told me that I had broken my fibula in two places, but that it had
healed itself. Obviously, it must have occurred when I fell down the
stairs, which goes to prove you CAN walk on a broken leg.

Of late, my mobility has worsened as I now walk with the aid of two
sticks, but I still have a wicked sense of humour. Even so I am
limited as to where I can go on my own. My son John and I went away
in our little caravan for a few days last week, before he starts his
second year on a Chartered Building Surveyors course at University.
Fortunately, he is already employed as a Trainee Building Surveyor and
his Company will finance his University Education – so that is one
less thing to worry about.

That brings us more or less up to date! And so my loyal subjects,
this is Lady Radley wishing you “Good Luck” for this my last official
duty as Royal Setter and may I take this opportunity to say “Au
Revoir” till we meet again.

As usual, for the every-day running of MM, I shall follow the usual
rule on word length as introduced by crofter. Each of my chosen link
words contains at least four letters and at most eight. Stray outside
this range and you will be wasting one of your attempts! Each of my
selected words may go in front of or after my challenge word. The
competition will officially close at 7.00pm on Sunday evening when
crofter will declare my selected words, then apply the same rules for
awarding points that have been applied during all MM Link Games in the
past. My final set of four words to have their links predicted should
appear below at 9.00am.
Wow!!....a busy and hectic time you have had.

So many link possibilities there...let's guess something to do with the church.
Snap, Lady Radley - I, too, inadvertently found myself as a church elder, after taking on a church secretary job - a good few years ago now, though
