A Beautiful Memory
Er the loveliest house that I’ve ever lived in was one
air jordan 6 that I lived in with my grandparents when I was a child. And the name
fitness equipments of the house was Crosslands. And I have some very happy memories of Crosslands.
It was, it seemed so huge to me as a child. And it had a
requin chaussures lovely living room with a piano in it and a lovely sort of hall with lots of carpets and chests and antiques and so on. And there
chaussures tn was a mysterious room, it was the drawing room, and we only used it on Sundays, or when the vicar came for tea, or Christmas
nike tn Day or Easter Day, and I was used to be amazed about this room because it had the best furniture in it
180 air but it was covered up with sheets - it was as if all the furniture was wearing clothes and it
air max shoes seemed to me ridiculous that we couldn’t en- joy this beautiful furniture all the week through really.
And probably my favorite room was the kitchen. It had a
new era cap lovely red flagstone floor, which was always highly polished, and an Aga, you know one of those big cookers that heats the whole room so it was always warm there, and there
lacoste shoes was a kind of clothes-horse above it that we used to hang all our clothes on, and it was just it was lovely.
It was a very warm room with baked bread and
coach tote my grandmother used to make ice cream and we’d eat it in there and there was a vegetable garden leading from there so I spent a lot of time in the
nike jordan shoes vegetable garden picking peas and eating them my grandmother used to get really cross with me because I used to
chloe bags pick all the vegetables and the fruit for our meals and then I’d eat half of them, because they tasted so delicious coming fresh from the garden.
Now, I went back to it a few years ago and it was a big mistake. They’ve modernized it inside, they’ve got rid of those lovely old fire- places have just gone. And they’ve knocked a wall down so the drawing room and the living room have become one big modern plastic kind of room.
But I think what upset me most about it was the
jordan 23 feeling that the house had shrunk, it had become smaller and that my memory of this lovely large warm comfortable house had
air jordan 4 turned into an old house with modernized rooms inside it. And it taught me a lesson really, that you
jordan 2 can’t go back on the past and recapture it. But there’s a beautiful memory there.
Springs are not always the same. In some years, April bursts
air jordan 9 upon Virginia hills in one prodigious leap - and all the stage is filled at once, whole
air jordan 9 choruses of tulips, arabesques of forsythia, cadenzas of flowering plum. The trees grow leaves overnight.
In other years, spring tiptoes in. It pauses, overcome by shyness, like my grandchild
air jordan 11 at the door, peeping in, ducking out of sight, giggling in the hallway. “I know you’re out there,” I cry. “Come in!” And April slips into our arms.
The dogwood bud, pale green, is inlaid with russet markings. Within the perfect
jordan 8 cup a score of clustered seeds are nestled. One examines the bud in awe: Where were those seeds a month ago? The apples display
jordan 13 their milliner’s scraps of ivory silk, rose-tinged. All the sleeping things
jordan retro 1 wake up primrose, baby iris, blue phlox. The earth warms you can smell it, feel it, crumble April in your hands.
