In reference to something he didn't experienced apparently until we met. He in as much told me, even as a child he thought it was his destiny never to experienced a real sense of peace and love with those who were dear and near to him. <br /><br />The card read "Love trumps Destiny". Those words have been my anchor when memories hurt at the most unexpected times. Hard to resolve things we didn't do or were responsible for yet still affect us today, isn't? May all your teas be filled with light and Scotch eggs.<br /><br />AllegraA.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-48289462279152917622016-03-21T01:10:21.856+00:002016-03-21T01:10:21.856+00:00Looking at the photo John,the first thing that cam...Looking at the photo John,the first thing that came to my mind was "where are the Scotch Eggs"<br />My saying is ""life is just a bunch of memories and may we all have more good ones than bad".Comox Valley and beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592683050512187874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-83175160327546419422016-03-20T23:54:23.674+00:002016-03-20T23:54:23.674+00:00These little memories do sneak in at times....luck...These little memories do sneak in at times....luckily they are soon goneLinda Metcalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706004604567190617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-85512538753129531962016-03-20T23:19:35.835+00:002016-03-20T23:19:35.835+00:00Routine is so wonderful, coffee before 5 is a good...Routine is so wonderful, coffee before 5 is a good idea.

Not how cute I looked or anything sweet, just making me more aware of that crooked tooth.<br />I held on to that hurt for many years.<br />I let it go when I got my first modeling job.Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-19635964575198399162016-03-20T14:40:34.902+00:002016-03-20T14:40:34.902+00:00Need some more?Need some more?The Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482237436135513483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-9575249139130812552016-03-20T14:37:27.296+00:002016-03-20T14:37:27.296+00:00you promised us pix of the prof and the bishop...you promised us pix of the prof and the bishop...anne marie in phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765140782182605141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-49781593301014795682016-03-20T14:25:36.610+00:002016-03-20T14:25:36.610+00:00Did you not get tea when Mum had been at the Gin? ...Did you not get tea when Mum had been at the Gin?
