    No, OL, their age makes no difference. There are lots of songs that remind me of my mum or dad. Sometimes they bring a smile to my face and sometimes they make me cry. We all have so many memories of our loved ones.

    David, have just read that thread, what a terrible thing to happen, made me cry. Sending you my very best wishes and hugs. Take care xx

    Oh David thats awful, so very sorry. What a cruel thing to happen, Sending hugs and best wishes love Lily xx

     

    Thank you, Lily......much appreciated. Life can be a bitch a times, but when we've been flattened, we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get on with things.

    Forgot to say thank you Frank for the words of encouragement.

    David, that is tragic. I'm sorry, very sorry. You're right, we do tend to pick ourselves up after I being flattened but it can take a long time and the pain never fully goes xx

    David "Pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again" they could write a song about it??

    That is OK Orchid Lady, relax and do your best.

    Todays tune is so full of memory it would take all the space on the forum. "White Rose of Athens" a very young Nana Mouscurie and the Island of love Cyprus a very long time ago, but what memories!!!

    Frank.

    Imagine SGL, a bunch of lads who's only female sightings were the female camels as the camel trains passed our Beau Geste residence in the arid Desert, suddenly whipped on to a troopship and transhipped through the worst storm ever in the Med to Cyprus, we thought we had died and gone to heaven. Even more so when we escaped into the flesh pots and found out the girls had one ambition, marry a Soldier and go to England. It was Bridgend with a lot more cream. I was posted there twice Larnaca and then Dekhelia  making the most of it.

    Frank.

    Today's song may surprise some of you, coming from someone so young image 

    My mum had/has the record and I used to play it over and over again on her old record player, one of the ones like a suitcase that opened up - we couldn't afford a new trendy one like my friends but I loved it and wished we still had it.

    The memories from this song are so happy image
