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!
"Xchanging"? Does the "X" on the blonde buffoon's top refer to votes?
ReplyDeleteNo. X Rated.
DeleteNice house.
ReplyDeleteRather scruffy; like him.
DeleteYou like the scruffy, lived-in look too. I liked the look of the place.
ReplyDeleteThe house looks very Bloomsbury; one can just imagine the scruffy treasures inside. Not unlike Charleston, I should think.
DeleteWhat a plonker.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was rather nice of him.
DeleteShould be loaves and fishes Boris, That's what the masses love. Either that or bread and circus.
ReplyDeleteThey'd probably all brought their own Pork Pies.
DeleteNice looking house.
