It had been sold by a French King to pay for his debts.<br /><br />The King did not repent, and did not create another beautiful forest like yours, Sean. The Nymphs are very happy with you.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307495672130972111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-38522088985763034032010-03-23T19:14:43.474+01:002010-03-23T19:14:43.474+01:00Your very poetic Seanwood Forest might

I'll talk to the Nymphs in your favour.<br /><br />*P.S. The whole poem is powerful and truly worth reading.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307495672130972111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-43156163123659575752010-03-23T13:35:30.461+01:002010-03-23T13:35:30.461+01:00Sean, if you are talking about gardening and takin...Sean, if you are talking about gardening and taking photos of your work, then spring is definitely in the air... <br /><br />I am looking forward to your blossoms soon...Nevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695297829881237662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-71427262592958940252010-03-23T13:25:54.543+01:002010-03-23T13:25:54.543+01:00A grand solution to remorse:
