When I look at photographs I start to reflect of times gone by,,, happy times spent with family and friends. Doing the things we enjoy or simply just being together and time stands still like it were only the other day,,,memories hold photographs too ,I think life Is a bag of memories ..so therefore it's so true to enjoy making new ones,,when I'm near the end of my years I'm not going to reflect or even remember just days that were spent watching telly or doing housework ,,yes we do the practical things but isn't life meant to be fun too and spent with people we love..

Well said Peach and I totally agree. We should never let anything or anyone hold us back from what we really want to do. You don't want to be nearing the end of your days and thinking, I wish I had done. thumbs up

As every action has a reaction and consequence ,,,and then there is the practical and responsibilities that I can't just go off back pack in ozz,,..

Seen pics recently of me at school and on my confirmation day my god i look like John Travolta gone wrong,but thinking back my childhood and teen years were brilliant not a care in the world,i think as we get older we loose or innocence and society shapes us ,wheHter we conform or not is a different matter,ah and my childhood sweethearts i often wonder where they ended up. If we could capture time in a bottle and open it up ON THE ODD OCCASION to take a sniff and think back on good oul times ,, good thread... MJ thumbs up

Why not go for a few weeks to Oz and travel around a bit, it wouldn't cost much more than renting a mobile in Courtown. The backpacking sounds really adventurous but it's mainly spent enduring long days in hostels with bored twenty year olds playing on their phones. thumbs up

Yes I don't often take the photographs out,,,it does make you think it was in another life yet like yesterday too ,,but isn't it nice to have good memories all the same,,forget about the times when it wasn't so great in the past as we came through it,,,,every day we learn something however small if we take notice,,wine
