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!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
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!

ReplyDeleteIt's a very strange 'war' song. Very cheerful.
Deletehaha, where do you find them ! ?
ReplyDeleteTHEY find ME!
DeleteI never realised that causing destruction and death with torpedoes could be such a jolly pastime.
ReplyDeleteThe music itself is particularly 'jolly', almost from 'Listen with Mother'.
DeleteCertainly a joyful tune for a war time sub. Contradiction, that's the spirit.
ReplyDeleteAn oddball if ever there was one.
