Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
OOh that's uncanny!
ReplyDeleteI hope you tell that to Tess!
DeleteBe still my beating heart! Robert Cornelius - wouldn't he have made a fabulous Heathcliff? There's another photo of him taken in later years where he's not nearly so dashing. You, on the other hand Mr Magnon, appear to grow better with each passing year!
ReplyDeleteSame as Kath - you're the spitting living image.
ReplyDeleteUnreal - I'm already on the trail of Robert Cornelius as I love early photography!

DeleteI thought he looked rather familiar and sexy...
