My husband burbles on about boats. If we went out for a few drinks together you and I would learn about a whole new topic...or we could just natter.

I left a bunch of carnations in with him, his favourite flower, which he had always tried to grow, without success. Four years later I said goodbye to my mum in the same funeral home, but without the flowers. <br />I've forgotten most of the other firsts.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
