(and even when they are home, it is still more than just a pin, marking the spot on google earth, because their buddies are still there, or their memories of being with their buddies are still there)
and deal is the place to be. (i still have the bandstand phots)
we have a service here too at PDO.
and i shall tell my classes about rememberance, because i am pleased to tell you that i am loved and accepted here and feel i belong.
i had a lovely chat with the ROP chap on the school gate. he was telling me just how close we British are, and how much the Sultan appreciates the British. i felt very proud, because i know how much British blood was spilled in these mountains, even in my life time. j
In deed, in-hair-and-knee. It's still safe here, from the mountain at the top to Jimmy's curiouser links...I never could write another poem since I left, either. So it's nice to drop in
You have such lovely poems to go over here, they are so re-able. The Boy's a good choice as a special one. Food for thought! Taught.
