Although it must have been tremendously frightening to see active duty, for those young working class men to travel and see the world must have seemed like such an adventure.<br />I hope you continue to dodge the snow.

Also agree with Sheila and her 'always upgrading' attitude, it's better to let go the things that are not totally fabulous and keep the ones you Love!. <br />Love your purple dress and matchy hat, it's one of my favourite ensembles ever!. Also love your new Dilli Grey jacket (can't believe you were the only bider!), they make such beautiful clothes and it's great to read about their compromise. Mr.W. Morris would approve for sure!<br />You and Jon look fabulous, love both outfits!, your suede coat and Clarks are so cool, and Jon rocks his coat, cap and Clarks too!.<br />I always love to see some old photos, that last one of your first visit to Stonecroft is absolutely Amazing!SeƱora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-41427880065098771432021-12-07T18:26:40.335+00:002021-12-07T18:26:40.335+00:00Dearest Vix, a very happy birthday for tomorrow!

I love the words of William Morris, and they do resonate with me. I am definitely not there yet, but I am moving in that direction. Your home is as beautiful and soulful as your outfits.
