Till The Next Time

[redrhino12]

I post this every year to remind you all the clocks go back on Sunday.

The nights are drawing in,the clocks go back on Sunday and the weather is going to get colder.
I have just put the central heating on,switched the gas fire onto mark 7 and made myselfe a cup of coffee and I am curled upon the settee surrounded by our photographs of our holidays in Turkey.

As I look through the photos I have to smile as memories are brought back to life,is that me jumping off the top deck of that boat into the sea?
and am I the one dancing on the bar?,the red eyes must be the flash and nothing to do with the alcohol.
Thank you Mr Kodac for a wonderfull invention.

The resorts will be quiet now,no more tractor train or roadsweeper.
The mosquitos will all be asleep ,their bellies full of our blood extracted from us while we slept, waiting for us all to return next year.
All the Wasps will be dead by now, killed by all our little children treading on the blighters.
Cockerels will still be crowing in the villages,but no tourist slumbers will he disturb for a while.
My goat lady will still be having a running battle with her flock every day
as she tends them through the winter.

All the sunbeds and brollies have all been put away, the cafes along the promenades closed, the sea will still be lapping the shore but no longer will children be giggling and screaming as the fish nibble their toes.

The wind will be blowing through our favourite bars, now stripped of all its sound equipment, decor and furniture, singing and laughing just an echo now among the rafters.

I for one am waiting for the rebirth of all my happy things,wont be long till next May.

Pass me some more photos darling.

Our best wishes to everyone,keep yourselves well wrapped up, cold and flu free,it will not be to long until you are counting the days "Till The Next Time."
Thanks Gene see you in May.

It's "Till The Next Time" for us too. Roll on June 2010 and let's hope we don't have too bad a winter.
I had my best holiday ever this year as I fulfilled a lifetime dream and went swimming with the dolphins.
Gene you should get yourself a digital photo frame. I got one this year and downloaded my photos onto it and it has pride of place on my sideboard. The photos change every three seconds (you can change the timing) and I have constant reminder of my time in Icmeler. I can't help but smile everytime I glance at it.

Call me a technophobe (spelling??) but although the digital photo frames are great, I think there's nothing better than leafing through old photos while lazing on the sofa, especially if it's a cold and rainy day. Before you know it you've spent a couple of hours reminding yourself of why you love Icmeler so much

Wow! it seems so far away, 40 wks this sunday for me before we're back in Icmeler, in fact it's too long, so the way I look at is that come Friday it's 10 weeks till New Years day, which then means it's the New Year therefore the old year has gone, countdown now begins and now it's only 30 weeks to go, I'm feeling much better already.
