FLAME

    Dylan's at Scout camp at Llandysul this weekend and it is soooooooo quiet without him. Went over to help celebrate 35 years of scouting in Llandysul around a campfire. Reminded me of my days in Guides. It was great fun and Dylan was brilliant acting in 2 sketches. He's such an extrovert and so happy in his skin. Left him with 2 tons of snacks for tonight's midnight feast and a little girl who kept following him - i think it's love . I noticed that he had not washed or changed his clothes in 2 days:))))

    This flame started the celebrations.

      Brilliant, I hope Dylan has a great time, awww about the little girl :-)

    4. brynmeillion - JAN (47 months ago | reply)

      I know - she would not leave his side and just kept staring at him - and Dylan just took no notice - MEN:))

      LOL, the "love" thing already. I still think of my daughter as my "little girl", and she is all grown up and living in Denmark with a great guy.

      Treasure every year you have Jan.

      He will have a great time :-)

      THANKS JIM:))

      Steve -Denmark!! you must miss her - I will treasure this time and just hate the thought of them growing up to be adults. There's a programme about the late great Spike Milligan's life and his deep love of his children - heard him say 'children don't grow up to be adults they just vanish from the face of the earth' - so sad - :(((

      That is amazing. Wow Jan, you got a great shot there. I love the smoke going up into the air. The red is really hot. What a cool shot, well i guess hot but you got what i meant. Oh, also it looks like its whipping around the top part that is way cool.

    9. brynmeillion - JAN (47 months ago | reply)

      Katherine - the camp fire leader held it up and swung it around which gave this swirl effect. It was a good start to a brilliant evening.

      THANKS Jean Franco :))

      For the first time in many years we had our 2 with us for part of our hols.
      They are 29 & 27 but when they were together acted like 9 & 7.
      Always still our children..

    11. brynmeillion - JAN (47 months ago | reply)

      so true Pete - we are all kids at heart :)

      A girl following him... and your "flame" image.

      What fun he must be having. I'm sure this beautiful flame is just as wonderful to Dylan as the Olympic flame is to all of the international Olympic champions.
