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 46 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away; 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 !
