I was browsing
my profile pictures album on facebook: I couldn't help but noticing how each of the

tell their stories.

ReplyDeleteoh did you? I haven't mentioned it here, but when I have found it I was with a friend, and she told me: "Polly this could be you as a kid" :-) unfortunately I do not have such cool photos of me as a kid... but from the one on the swing you can tell I wasn't that different from that girl.
