I love it here. So tranquil. Swaying branches, pale green leaves reaching for wispy white clouds floating  ‘cross a sky of springtide blue. Blimey, listen to me getting poetical! It’s not even spring!

See the heart carved in that tree trunk? I did that when I was fourteen. The K in it is for me of course,  and the S is for – don’t laugh – Celine! How was I to know Celine started with a C? When she saw it she accused me of having it off with her friend Sally.

My next girlfriend was Sarah, so it came in quite useful!

    Keith, I think “K” could be considered to be a player. Funny spin on the image 🙂

    You should have told her you could predict the future

    Dear Keith,

    Spelling seems to be a dying art. Things might have gone better with Celine had he known how to spell her name. 😉 Cute story.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Sadly, people now rely on spellcheckers to correct their mistakes – not that they were around when I carved those initials!

      Thanks, Rochelle.

    Hilarious. Doomed to date only the ‘s’ girls. Well, there is Susan, so sweet and Samantha who might be a witch.

    Ha ha – so you were just looking for girls whose name began with an ‘S’ – naughty!😅

    Guess he was feeling a tad too cocky there. Smart choice on the next girlfriend, though 😉

    Funny spin on the prompt per usual. Keith will have to date on people whose names begin with “S” now.

    Oh dear, spelling really makes a difference doesn’t it! This made me chuckle on a grey Monday morning. I love that he found an S girlfriend to match the tree!
