I like your "Barking" Island, lovely woody word that. :-)

I like Treen JC, definitely a woody word :-D

Wend

Wend Report 25 Oct 2012 20:06

I really like the word 'Canoodle' - I think that's something I used to do in the back row of the cinema when I was an innocent teenager.

'Treen' ? That's a word I'm not familiar with.

Wend,
Treen, wooden items collectively, e.g., utensils, ornaments, working tools, or implements, 1300.


Ps.
Treen can also refer to an inhabitant of Northern Venus who`s supreme leader is the Mekon.
(from "Dan Dare Pilot of the Future". 1950s)
:-D :-D :-D


pps.. Bet John can remember reading the Eagle :-D ;-)
