Those were the days....

[SusieGriff]

Went into town today, in the main square there was an international food market on, there were the chicken paellas, the greek olive stall, the most gorgeous looking bread from france, I think, and a belgian chocolate stall, to name just a few, there were people having little dips at this and that, tasting stuff. looked amazing, I just walked slowly by with a whistful look in my eye.... ahhh those were the days... testing fudge and chocolate fancies...😱

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it's shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Sorry Alan, didnt mean to get you drooling 😉 😛... Didnt realise they are made in Bradford... And yes one of the best crisps on the planet but at 5 ww propoints per 31g bag (20g carbs)so not worth the calories or carbs 😱.

Hey Susie,

I don't mean to be disheartening. Poetry seems to capture alot of my moods. At the end of the day I'm world weary and fed up with alot of things and people around me. I've seen far too much in the past eighteen months and well, at the age of twenty I shouldn't be world weary.

I feel for you, At 20 you shouldn't have to worry about all this. when I was 20 I was care free and and nothing worried me. I am just in awe of you guys that have had this since a young age, I'm one of the luckier ones in that I had it later on in my life, and I won't say it doesn't matter, because it does, and I intend to cope with it, but I'm sure I would have had melancholy moments too had I been 20. Poetry is a way to express our feelings, funny or sad. The 'awww' was for the poem, such poignant words. Chin up chuck!

Fifteen years for me. How things have changed in that time. What doesn't change and maybe gets a little worse with each year that passes are the challenges I face. Diabetes is just another thing I have to deal with, it's something I shouldn't have to deal with, like everything else I have to deal with.
