Eric Clapton - went through the pain of losing a child but has produced consistently brilliant music..

Well, I was given a present yesterday, which put the biggest smile on my face. I wanted a cat when I got the States, and I was presented yesterday, via web, with the sweetest, most ADORABLE little ginger boy kitten!!
I remember when I was in primary school and when the time came for end of year reports, I would always get a peach as a special treat if my report card was good. It WAS a treat, back in those days, and the memory of how good that peach tasted at the time will always stay with me!!
Yes, its a wonderful thing, to be travel and experience different cultures. Since the creation of the European Union, lots of countries are so easy to travel to now.

My meaning, when I said "isolated" was regarding their geographical location, and I simply used Austrailia as an example.
