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!
Amen.
ReplyDeleteWe will remember them. XXXX
ReplyDeleteNever forget all those who served.
ReplyDeleteThe image makes the point very well with no need for words.
ReplyDeleteInteresting picture. The brave and the fallen holding up our future.
ReplyDeleteThat is a powerful image!
ReplyDeleteOne problem is that many youngsters are unaware what it is that we oldies can remember. They know the words but they don't know the feelings.
