Gave the movie an almost supernatural edge to it.<br />I love the image of Vianne, standing at the edge of the wooden boat jetty, as the wind tugged at her and whispered to her very soul... Sigh. Gorgeous.<br /><br />The mossy fairy-roo was delightful. I think she'd look lovely at your place. Although, I think your fur crew would go out of their minds wondering what this strange creature was, lol.<br /><br />And, don't apologise for including we who love you and big, beautiful Blue, and your fur crew, in your life. The highs, and the lows, bring us closer together.<br />Sending out wishes to the Universe to keep Blue safe was all I could do - being so far away. Wish that I could do more at such times.<br />Sharing helps to get us through.<br />xxx<br />Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-5372150801948850892015-11-10T09:41:05.672+11:002015-11-10T09:41:05.672+11:00Glad you enjoyed your visit Down Under, Charlene.

Although I loved it enough to buy it.<br />Strange but the first thought about that movie wasn't the chocolate, although I do adore it and I need a taste of it at least daily.<br />But rather my first thought was of the wind in the movie.<br />That's what really got to me. The wind.<br />Yep, I can be a strange one!<br /><br />Love the Kangaroos.<br />I, without a doubt, would want the mossy one with wings.<br /><br />I wish the best ever yet Christmas Market for you!<br />Can't wait to see some your creations.<br />Please make sure to get rest and don't get sick!<br />Sorry that I and Blue worried you, that's the last thing you should be thinking about at this hectic time!<br />But know how much it meant to me, to know I have you out there sending healing energy to my Blue!<br />xoxoxoCindi Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475347748831862659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404847464369238465.post-17402565294919157432015-11-10T03:52:11.138+11:002015-11-10T03:52:11.138+11:00Chocolate (and Chocolat)---and Kangaroos---oh my! ...Chocolate (and Chocolat)---and Kangaroos---oh my! Lovely, fun and a feast (a visual delight) for the heart and soul and body... also read the previous post on the visit to the lovely gardens, Alowyn. I am sitting in the breakfast nook looking out at the rain. The much appreciated and desperately in need of rain. Reading your post and seeing the kangaroos, wonders in themselves makes me very thankful that I could visit with you, a bit of sunshine, Vicki.
