And for the past four years I have been able to share all of this with Paul my partner. But you know all of this Morelle, thank you lovely friend.<br /><br />From,<br /><br />Maureen x<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365414187774298547.post-77498463439242233582018-09-19T12:36:55.156+02:002018-09-19T12:36:55.156+02:00Hi Morelle,

But what happy memories we’ll always have, thanks to Sally and Ian, our perfect hosts.<br /><br />You were great too, Morelle, the way you helped out with preparations. But climbing the rickety spiral staircase must have taken some nerve, and it sounds like those sly cherubs in the Jupiter and Leda print were up to no good… <br /><br />Maureen and I would love to see you again before too long. Maybe we can sort something out?<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Paul xx<br /><br />And love from Maureen too xx <br />Paul Beechhttp://paulbeech.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365414187774298547.post-62336335799296099182018-09-16T19:47:25.522+02:002018-09-16T19:47:25.522+02:00Ah Yeats must have been what I was thinking of or ...Ah Yeats must have been what I was thinking of or I should say, lurking somewhere in my murky subconscious memory...dritanjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025213970107184429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5365414187774298547.post-53701689974905394392018-09-16T18:24:06.852+02:002018-09-16T18:24:06.852+02:00The passion?
