Still getting to grips with Razor...I want to display the copy from my solutions page on the home page, I have a structure like this.

Home
--------Solutions
---------------------Solution

The following code is giving me the list of children from the Solutions node but NOT the bodyText.

@{
    <h3>Our Solutions</h3>
    var solutionIntro = @Page.NodeTypeAlias == "Solutions";
    <p>@solutionIntro.bodyText</p>
    <p>Click to view more detail</p>    
    var myList = new List<umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNode>();           
    foreach (dynamic page in @Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf().OrderBy("CreateDate desc")) {
                        if(page.NodeTypeAlias == "Solution" )
                        {
                                myList.Add(page);
                        }
                }
        }
        <ul>
        @foreach(dynamic page in myList.Take(7)) {
                <li><a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a></li>
        }
        </ul>

@{
    <h3>OurSolutions</h3>
        <p>Click to view more detail</p>

var myList = newListDynamicNode>();           
        foreach (dynamic page in @Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf("Solutions").OrderBy("CreateDate desc").Take(7)) {
                <li><a href="@page.Url">@page.Name </a>
@page.bodyText
</li>
        }
        </ul>
}

This bit here was outside the for statment. @Page won't get you anything. If your trying to get a property of a node your interating, IE print the bodyText for each link the sample above will do that.

If there is a single page you want to get the text from, you need some way to identify/load it, IE:
```
@Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf("Solutions").First().bodyText
or
@Model.NodeById(144).bodyText 
```
Note thouth that the second method will have problems if you are using Courier to deploy the content.

Hey Jeremy...sorry I took so long to get back, thanks for your post, all working now. You were right i wanted content from a single page so i went for.
```
@Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).DescendantsOrSelf("Solutions").First().bodyText
```
