Lovely Chapter
And I remember well those News Theatres. Great for whiling away an hour or so even though what they showed was stuff like The Three Stooges and lots of cartoons.
I guess we'll have to wait to see if our young lovers ever reunite.
parting is such sweet sorrow
made me want to hug her, it did
Ae fond kiss...
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met-or never parted,
We had ne'er been broken-hearted....
But on the other hand, as Dame Harriet would doubtless remind us:
“No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.”
Which I guess is the conundrum. I really really enjoyed reading this bittersweet chapter, even though now I am crying and thinking back to partings and loves from my own past...so I am in quite a melancholy frame of mind...
Thank you Bron, s lovely, lovely, chapter..
Love Lucy xxx
Ps The Kenneth Mckellar rendition is lovely ,but I have seen my favourite Scottish folk singer, Dougie McLean sing it live, and, well I will never forget that emotion.

"Lately it occurs to me..
what a long strange trip its been."
Beautiful
Thank you Bron for a lovely, bittersweet chapter of young love - indeed first love which we all
remember how everything felt so right and in our young minds it will last forever. For most of
us it's the first lesson on how real life is.
Couldn't reach for the tissues as there are none to be had thanks to the moronic panic buyers! However
all was not lost as someone mentioned proper linen hanky's which I have a few of - luckily

First love always the hardest
It always comes as a shock when a break up of a first love occurs. It seems like the end of the world, as though they'll never be another one, that they will keep in touch and wait for each other. And sometimes it does happen, but most times they each find another.
Gary and Antonette are young, and have gone through their first love. It will be some time before they deal with the hurt they now feel, but they will eventually file it away in their youthful experiences file.
Others have feelings too.
