A young lady from Walsden named Sylvia, who I took on holiday.
She refused to let me take one of her.
We were engaged at the time, why she threw the ring back later is another story.
I think a lot of us probably have similar tales to tell - all part of life's rich tapestry!

It looks like a nice area -I've never been to Canada though my husband visits every few years for the Royal Winter Show (he's a "dairy" man!)
You mention being a potter -would love to see some pics of your studio and your work!
Thanks mobertol. I've been to the Royal a few times myself. Mainly for the horses, but also just to soak up a little country and farm culture. Maybe the best way to see my pots is to look up Williams Mill Arts Centre on google. I'm the one with the curly hair LOL. As for my studio, sadly I'm closing it at the end of this month. After nine years its quite an adjustment. But I'll continue to make pots somehow, just not as many as I did to pay an exorbitant rent.
Thank you for the compliment Margaret, it must be 60 years ago since anyone called me "son".
As far as taking more water with it I will pass on that.
I love to dream and you will know who I dream about most.
Yes Russell......I do, and this is just the way it should be.
The 'son' thing was to Dave in Germany...I have adopted him.....but if calling you son makes your day..or makes you smile then you go ahead and dream son...who am I to pour water on your dreams?
