Andy,
A fine write I can relate to.
I enjoyed the video very much!
Yes, this world is getting smaller every day!
Although I’ve done a lot of traveling myself, my two children hop on airplanes as if they’re going grocery shopping! They are incredible! God Bless them!
As a matter of fact, my son told me a few days ago that he’s going golfing at St. Andrews...and my daughter was in Prague last month for a singing guest appearance!

I\'ll say! Just a short hop to what might have been occupied Paris and Nazis! 84 Avenue Foch and the Gestapo........ (why did that pop into my head - God knows).........

I have never felt the desire to travel outside of UK.
Having written that i sat and thought about it. I love to travel in UK but no desire at all to go elsewhere.
Certainly the world would appear to have shrunk since the jet airliner was invented. Oh, and the chunnel.

The reaches of this generation astound me too dear Goldi - - they think nothing of travel to the ends of the earth and feel the world is thier oyster - but hopefully the young look inside at core values and choose to adjust to others\' needs. A deep and thoughtful verse here my friend.

It\'s so incredibly small. I can recall my parents hardly ventured beyond Southgate and when they took a holiday in Ireland it was as if they had discovered another world. Bit different now - I have travelled all over the world and have an apartment in Cyprus - I know the island like the back of my hand and feel at home there as soon as I step off the plane.

I think life and love springs things upon us which we dont anticipate but through it all love teaches us about ourselves and our place in this existence as we become ready for the next.
However your futures unfold there will be love holding both your hands as your guide.

Written from the heart and a beautiful piece by Tchaikovsky. Thank you for sharing!
Those we truly love are never lost and those years of passion never really go away. You\'ll both carry them in your hearts forever (and through your words, you\'ll carry them through the minds of others too).
Wishing you both the best!

Thank you Goldfinch60.
An incredible poem.
Things were much better in the past when we truly used our mind and imagination before the advent of technology that has made us lazy at times.
Keep writing

In a similar vein, I\'m not with a certain church at present, but why, when they had special prayer times for a person with the \'c\' word, did the person later pass away? Really, we can only say \'Don\'t know why\'.

Andy,
Reading your write has brought to mind so many examples of things gone wrong that I’ve witnessed because of technology when I was still teaching...using a “smart board”! Well many times when it’d malfunction, it wasn’t so smart!
I enjoyed the read and listening to Queen!

Hey Andy - OMG - it\'s even hit church........ I retired in the nick of time .... they were making work impossible with \"technical improvements\"..... and just for funny..... my doctor missed telling me I had a touch of anemia because they had \"changed systems\" and he couldn\'t access my information as he was talking to me (with the screen at his side). Perhaps this is why the kids are going back to vinyl records.... they are just longing for simpler days..

I can just visualise the scene and the irony of it even though I haven\'t witnessed technology in church - mind you I haven\'t attended a service in church (apart from funerals and marriages) for over 50 years.

Well at least you dont have a public address system attached to the steeple and employ somebody to chant a horrible sounding monologue through it at certain times of day - as happens in parts of the world.
I\'m sure there was enough goodwill in your church on this occasion to generate a lot of smiles and understanding. Maybe a small test from above, a lesson perhaps.

We had an infant Baptism. Sometimes causes a pantomime, and terrifying if the child is held over the font. Thankfully it went well, and the priest also kissed the baby in an \'ahh\' moment!

Doh! if having hymn books, there\'s a fiendish trick - do we \'omit the starred verses\' or not? The trick is that the service leader does not tell us, and only the choir know. They don\'t tell us either - leading to complete confusion and garbled words. We\'re not all singing from the same sheet (or verses rather)!
One choir I knew was a bit like the Mafia - sing what WE want, or else....! \'The Firm\' who controlled all the songs.

Andy,
A beautiful and inspirational write! The more I read your writings, the better I feel about life in general! Just today, my husband and I were talking about the same subject! We are at a place in our lives where we’re re-evaluating and appreciating our years together! Our children are doing well and we’re very thankful for their successes! If we were to leave this earth today, we’d be fine with that!
Thank you for your daily share! I always look forward to them!
