Today is my father's birthday. Unfortunately he's not here to celebrate it (he would have been 114).
Happy Birthday Papa.

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!
Good morning Cro,Our parents always accompany us wherever we are and anytime.
ReplyDeleteYes, and some of us are luckier than others.
DeleteAs usual I wished him a Happy Birthday and found it hard to believe he would have been 114.
ReplyDeleteThe UK's oldest man died recently; he was 111.
DeleteHe looks a nice, gentle man. My father was too and I think of him every day. He died in 1971.
ReplyDeleteYes, he wasn't the type to shout or get angry; we were lucky.
DeleteDapper looking gent, your Dad!
ReplyDeleteA 'snappy dresser' for his time.
DeleteThat's a great photograph.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the very few I have here; all the others are in my loft in Brighton.
DeleteEnjoy memories of your dad today, Cro.I love the photo.
ReplyDeleteVery old-fashioned.
DeleteHang on - wasn't it your father's birthday around this time last year?
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think so. You must be thinking of someone else.
DeleteSeeing your father in the past is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo !
