The Four Seasons

spring walked the red carpet dressed in a suit of blossoming colors that released a delicate inviting fragrance. summer followed in a scorching hot vibrant green piece accentuated in bright yellow gold. autumn showed up in antique shades of reds and orange. a striking shawl dropped beneath her shoulders. winter was the last to arrive and appeared in a pure white evening gown. each and every sequence unique and separately sewn in. as each season complimented the red carpet all life showed up to marvel.

Yes Maurice I always ensure I am well protected - saying that Darren and I have 2 soup babies (Patrick and Grace) in a few short months of being together so I guess there must have been a bit of a cock up somewhere LOL:-) Hugs Jan xxx
