I can still recall the place and it was almost 20 years ago now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310508986394220032.post-59396447901134483482008-07-01T15:37:00.000+01:002008-07-01T15:37:00.000+01:00Dear Graham, I cannot tell you how deeply moved I ...Dear Graham, I cannot tell you how deeply moved I was by the emotion in your first answer. Tears came to my eyes just picturing (and feeling) you walking through the rain in such a dark place of death and torture. I felt deep respect for your ability to still be able to cry over something that we all should cry over. I also know it is a place that many people would not even...go to. (I can't say "visit" as it doesn't feel like a "visit".) <BR/><BR/>Thank you for having such a remarkably open heart and mind. It is strikingly noticeable and makes you stand out in a world that often covers its eyes, ears and senses. Many people have lost their innocence and openness long before they reach your age. So it is uplifting and encouraging to see someone who has not lost that part of themselves. Never let anyone take that from you. It is one of your many gifts to the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310508986394220032.post-35771603722045208822008-01-06T14:03:00.000+00:002008-01-06T14:03:00.000+00:00Linda, the sad thing is that genocide still goes o...Linda, the sad thing is that genocide still goes on now in places like Africa. It is so sad..... But you are right, we must never forget, and everybody must do their part in making sure that our future is better.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe K hasn't got you cooking Haggis, Tatties and Neeps every night...lol!!! Every time I go to Scotland, i just love having my dose of Haggis.<BR/><BR/>There is something soooo comforting about mince beef and mash... simply heavenly. I'm sure you are all looking forward to your British nosh in a couple of months time.Graham Ettridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10483586705365890235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310508986394220032.post-82961571718758310432008-01-06T05:54:00.000+00:002008-01-06T05:54:00.000+00:00That photo is an important reason why we must neve...That photo is an important reason why we must never forget history otherwise it may be repeated.<BR/><BR/>Comfort food - my husband loves mince and tatties. If I made it every night of the week he would be happy. He is Scottish - so, I guess the food is very similar to English nosh.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3310508986394220032.post-10337492646656917752008-01-05T23:47:00.000+00:002008-01-05T23:47:00.000+00:00Zhu, my wonderful chocolate loving friend!
