Love, Photographs and Sonnets

Hello!

I have just been sat in a traffic jam coming home from the land of Manchester ( i have singing lessons with the most amazing teacher! today we sang Spring Awakening, Oliver, Cabaret and Kelly Clarkson....totally pointless information....promise i wont make a habit of it!) and whilst sat grid locked with all the grumpy motorists i got to thinking about Romeo and Juliet, more specifically LOVE. Please forgive the heightened cheesiness of this blog entry....and of course ...Enjoy!

Here are some photos of LOVE LOVE LOVE from my life.....

Romeo

You may remember i mentioned The Sween in my last blog? Well this is him, my Romeo (pause for geek related comment....probably from The Sween), This photo was taken by me on holiday last summer in Lanzarote....We met at Morrison's when we were whipper snappers, i worked on the cheese counter and Dave/Sween worked on the shop floor.....miles away from the drama of Romeo and Juliet.... however Dave did rescue an old lady from a falling pyramid of Diet Coke once. Ours was a LOVE made over moderately priced cheese and Morrison's in house Radio.

My mum and Dad

This was taken on a budget cruise to Norway .... it was a rocky journey, mum is scared of boats, mum notified the whole boat she had seen a whale when in fact she had only seen some floating seaweed being jolted around by the waves....they laughed a lot.

Their Wedding Day

Grandma and Grandad

Unconventional Love Story: Dedicated to each other completely they spent all there time together, grandad liked taking electrics apart and putting them back together and Grandma like to pretend she wasn't working class. When Grandma had to have all her teeth taken out Grandad decided (as not to make Grandma feel ugly and on her own) to have his perfectly healthy teeth removed!

Nikki and Luke - Romeo and Juliet

Nikki and Luke were two friends of mine that tragically lost their lives...but they loved each other so much, i feel they deserve a mention when LOVE is the theme.

Becks and Chris

Best Friends of mine....they live a happy life together and have a pet Rabbit called Poppy.

Mel and Tomo

This is my best friend Mel and her fiancee Tomo (i am maid on honer...very exciting!)...they met in Magaluf both on stag and hen do's...Destined to be married i say!

Now i had intended on interspersing lovely extracts from the first ten sonnets i have read this week but it turns out the first ten are all about moving on, growing up, getting married and having babies... so i have decided to use quick fire revues of each one.

Sonnets

1. Themes of Reincarnation and beauty

Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
    To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee

2. Ageing and Passing out of this world...lovely verse about wrinkled:

When forty winters shall beseige thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,

3. Death, Loneliness and the prospect of being a spinster.

But if thou live, remember'd not to be,
    Die single, and thine image dies with thee.
4. Spending, selfishness and debt ....the Bard wrote sonnets about Bank Managers?

5.

6. Departing and leaving nothing

7.

8. Love those who want to be love...love is not to be wasted.

9. Being single is bad....I can feel a message/ pattern emerging  here Bard!

10. Find love in your self


So..... that's all for tonight's instalment folks!  thanks for reading and your support...i am of to gorge on Pic n Mix sweets and watch Wuthering Heights (staring Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley) as i got it on sale at Sainsburys...

Take Care
