F4Thought #120 - Round Up

#f4thought #120 Round up by Swirly

 

 

With over twenty wonderful posts it seemed like it would be best to have a spotlight three. Thanks again to Annie Savoy for letting us use her image as the header and without further ado I will hand over to Swirly who has chosen the round up for this week... Many thanks to Swirly too ;-)

Spotlight Round up Week #120

 

The inspiration for F4thought #120 The Road Not Travelled was taken from a blog post of mine and a subsequent brief conversation.

• Melody Insights and The wrong trousers.

“... When, as a child, you’ve created a shell against emotion that is modelled on Spock from Star Trek you grow up to understand that you’ve missed something..." READ MORE
