I read the second version and it felt a little stilted to me. But there you go. Loved the images of damp hair, mulberry stains.

You somehow managed to remind me of Ville Valo and Natalia Avelon's <i>Summer wine</i>, the summers I spent as a child at my aunt's summer house and a small collection of beautiful films and books, all in quick succession. Suddenly I long to return there and let time drag by at a more sluggish rate than it does here in the city. Strong, captivating imagery. =)<br /><br />/ RainRainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853997873870014947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093398514424643241.post-773586529102430712011-10-20T01:24:20.747+11:002011-10-20T01:24:20.747+11:00I loved the story brings back happy memories.I put...I loved the story brings back happy memories.I put a little card on my blog for you thank you for your lovely comments my friend and the follow its going to be fun getting to know you more.<br /><br />Always WendyMy Beautiful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16143930235979077581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093398514424643241.post-33391063397954697432011-10-19T12:26:41.262+11:002011-10-19T12:26:41.262+11:00thanks B!
