I see the images differently. I see the missing off a different loved one purely by what she wears. A love never coming home from a conflict. All the same, I like it // hugs // James xx

Thanks James - I like your take on the images - it was quite a challenging form if I remember correctly and needed strict syllable count:-) hugs Jan xx
