did au naturel not go bust?? Works is good for canvases

loads of photo places on quidco that give ££ for registering and free prints.

No they managed to find a buyer at the last minute - we were gutted when our local one said it was closing down! But it is still here and I just bought some lovely spools of ribbon for making my wedding stationary. They were reduced to a pound each! They still do lots of different sized canvasses - all reasonably priced!

Here's the first draft of the poem that I've written. I may write another section following on but this is what I have so far.

Snapshots

Look back with me and smile
at the stories being told.
Wonder not what people think of you,
context is king.

Instead laugh with me and chant nonsense
phrases that make people glance at us askance.
Look back with me and wonder still,
if there is such a thing as fate?

For these snapshots foreshadow a future
now being created. Look back with me
and stand tall, beam with pride
as I do at what has been accomplished.

Maybe material things have not been amassed,
but memories, experiences shared and treasured.
Measure your life by laughs and love,
count your friends and not cold currency.

Look back with me and step forward,
embrace the journey and start walking.
There is no need to wait for me,
[FONT=&quot]I’m walking already, and so is he.[/FONT]
