So this is James. Was your winding up on his lap a happy accident or was there...ahem...forethought? I may well have attempted something like that at seventeen. And a half.
SDC: this gave me pause for thought. I was drawn to the three of them because they were couth but not Southern Smoothies, they were older and wiser, they were mountaineers - you felt safe with them, they had fought in the war and they were fun. With James it was a little like a moth to a flame - so different to the school boys I was used to. I'm fairly sure I wouldn't have gone off the rails.
What wonderful photo of gorgeous carefree young things. The picture says a thousands words. Sorry I haven't visited in sooo long (four months) scrolling down to catch up. Hope you are well.
Husband, daughter and son-in-law went to the movies. I stayed in to watch the grandchildren and also to allow the two au pairs to go out. I think I got the best deal because I went back to read up on your stories and it was so interesting. You have such a great memory – remembering names, people and what you all said. It is fascinating and I really enjoyed reading all your posts.
Vagabonde: so glad you found time to read 'An Imperfect Life'. I know you have a very busy life. It is easier to remember the distant past rather than last week. Of course it is impossible to remember the speech verbatim but I strive to keep the essence truthful.
ALW: Thank you I am well and glad you have popped over. They were happy days- the war over and changing from a daffy young girl into a daffy young woman. I can't believe that James - if he were still alive would be 95.
Grand mother but still a girl at heart. Married to MTL(my true love)after a separation of 30 years. Had three careers: trained paediatric nurse, National photographic model and business woman. Now settled in SW and enjoying our five children and ten grandchildren and making the most of what time we have left.
In January 2013 I lost MTL.

Parsnip. Clever girl. I think we all were.

And good looking too.

Mage: weren't we the lucky ones?

I kind of wish I was young again. Photos like this do not help my condition. But it's lovely.
Exile: comparatively speaking you still are:) Enjoy.
What a great photo, that really does capture a moment in time. Oh to be young and in love again. :D
joey: I'm not sure I could cope with the ups and downs now - unless it was MTL.
Love the perfect photo to accompany the story. What a glimpse in time.
Granny Annie: Glad I found it:)
