On a trip to Spain five years ago my daughter and I were not allowed to check into a B&B. We had booked and paid for online. Reason she thought we were a couple. I could have explained that she was 15 and not my partner but my daughter. But I thought that I would rather us sleep the night in the car than under a roof of someone so phobic. (On check in she asked to she our passports and noted we have different surnames, so jumped to the assumption we were a couple) - Julie
Quite funny considering NZ has legalised same sex marriage, perhaps they should have tied the knot first and said they were on their honeymoon, the Ruskin's may have welcomed them with a bottle of fine wine and a chocolate under their pillow instead of turning them away. In their line of business you would think that they wouldn't discriminate. Perhaps they should also turn away all those heterosexual unfaithful couples who play the straight married couple so well. That would probably cut a nice chunk from their yearly profit. - Lisa
...and on that note, I have felt pain when someone says they have gone through pain for me...(when I don't want that). - ro.watson
I do not get why women (and other people) wax? I like body hair. I like sensation? I do not like pain. - ro.watson
Lets not take this too seriously ! I mean, playing around with makeup , colouring our hair and shaving our legs isn't quite in the same category as tight-lacing of corsets ! - Stella Burnell
Eyelash tinting is so painful - I couldn't see for a while when they finally washed off tint. Not happening again. - Ann-Maree
I'd be worried about what Mr. & Mrs. Ruskin are getting up to. Weirdo's like this are the type that keep sex slaves. No I won't be staying with them. - Sandy

How gorgeous. On Sunday I heard an Australian woman tell of how, inter alia, she had contributed to this garden with a native bee shelter/ sculpture...Anyway it all looks beautiful~ and I gather PJ is earnest in his water integration ideas. - ro.watson
