Do these photographs tell the truth, these stolen moments in time ?"<br />and i also know the sadness when a virtual door, a blog we've grown to love and visit, suddenly closes and whatever glimpse we used to have at that life is lost (sometimes forever)...<br /><br />thank you for these wonderful moments, Owen... all this (and our friendship) means so much to me...Roxanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650840495095863057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-26221374276064436032011-10-15T06:06:39.544+02:002011-10-15T06:06:39.544+02:00Beautiful post in word and photo.

Les portes ouvertes, on fait un petit coucou, on admire la décoration du jour, et les portes fermées aussi. Il y a des trésors derrière chacune d'elles. <br />Et comme toi, je suis bien triste quand une maison est abandonnée.

The pop of a cork and the villagers raise a fluted glass, a musical tinkle, the sound of celebration...Tentacles all a twitter, the group decides to load up the aforementioned baskets full of cheeses and goodies, wines and breads, and crawl upon the curving, woven handles while singing a song of the slug....The air is sweet and warm, the breeze light and filled with music. It is early evening and an autumn moon appears along with a setting sun which casts a shadow across the fountain in the square - The slugs, standing upon tips of tails, squeal with delight as they realize that there is no door which one slug cannot slide under to see what the other side looks like. One day, that door will belong to the Slug and Lettuce, with many convenient locations near you. (If you happen to live in the UK.) See you there someday!babblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485788524901242655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-5471770857344233202011-10-11T06:35:28.074+02:002011-10-11T06:35:28.074+02:00Bonjour Owen.
