Time Lost

A concept that has defeated philosophers down through the ages. Man and his place in the universe, are we the peak of existence or just the servants...

Journeys

I suppose the whole of life is a journey, much of it smooth and uneventful ending in some kind of fulfilment, at other times like a roller coaster...

Lovely Tina.

So much feeling packed into a small space.

Just before he died I bought my father a Yorkie bar, he never did eat it and it stopped in my mother's fridge for ages. Then one day she said you'd better eat it. I took it...

This is really wondrous and truly beautiful. I cannot pick which bits I like best. Should it be 'overhead a skylark..' Whatever the rest of the line makes me truly jealous, lovely. Eggnog sunlight , corrugated fields.

A holiday to treasure and with so many photos, and words to preserve it.

Sad but with a great deal of joy.

Take care.
