That counts to me.
I’ve often told my peers that I am fluent in English and sarcasm.

Hello Goldfinch60,

A beautiful incredible write.

You have indeed captured wonderfully the true essence of beauty.

BRIAN HERE ~ Good July Uncle ANDY ! Angela & I love Opera and queing in a CAR is an excellent way to share it with the Hoi Poloi ! You probably remember long gone (preplastic) days (our Grandparents speak about) when rubbish was burned in a Garden Incinerator and the ash used for fertilizer. Tips are like shrines where we (or the Bin Men) take our weekly oblations. Queues seem to be de rigeur at the moment and more from Independence Day onwards (except alas in Leicester !). We live close enough to London to enjoy the *Classics* when the lights go on again. We generally go by Coach ~ as cheap as driving & parking or train ! Please check *ANGELA ~ MY WIFE* Thanks !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛💛

Bin there (excuse the pun) done that and worn the tee shirt out... spot on sir Andy.. I sat through a whole Dylan album while waiting in the queue .. I would have turned around if I could have maneuverered the car :)

Is She a Bad Mother.
Michael Edwards said:

The fact that they have achieved so much and are ready to forge their own futures is testament to their upbringing - their parents must be so proud.

Is She a Bad Mother.
Suresh said:

Strange as it sounds, at the first opportune moment (generally going off to college) they want to fly as far as possible. In USA, it\'s always to the opposite coast.
I agree with all other comments, so won\'t repeat. Though this post sounds tragic, I know it to be humorous.

Is She a Bad Mother.
dusk arising said:

Nature will have it\'s way and for many of us that involves spreading the wings and flying. If flying is within ones capabilities then one should fly!

Is She a Bad Mother.
Neville said:

both mine fly off .. because they have to.. and then return, because they have to .. like swallows they are.. they know there is always a place for them here... no doubt the ones you refer to are the same.... I get the feeling their mum taught them well.....

Those offspring who fly the nest invariably come back again after adventure has had its fill - thanks dear Andy for your caring poem of tribute to those left behind - good Mums were ever loving teachers of freedom.

jarcher54 said:

Thanks for the explanation! I started to imagine a mother bird who raised two wandering migratory fledglings, soaring off on new feathers to France and China like arctic terns or cuckoos who travel thousands of miles on their migrations. But guess what, they instinctively come back!

Do You Tread the New Path?
Neville said:


I personally try to tread the middle path.. it works for me although seldom smoothe, it helps to keep the eyes open...

life is full of choices, risks and opportunities .... a fine contemplative read this early mane...

Half the year gone, meaning six months since C......... and six months before next C.......
I dare not mention the C word yet. We\'ll get the C catalogues soon through our door. Clue: 9 letters in it. Or 4 letters, starting with X..... lol.
