And lo! The lonely old man's "special wish" was granted . . .

I appreciate that some of you, dear viewers, might consider the inclusion of this photograph to be somewhat incongruous . . . can you guess why I have posted it?

I think the young son in the middle is simply delicious!!!

What a bevy of beautiful young ladies!

I honestly do not think much of this entry - unless, of course, it was meant to represent desert flora?

On second thoughts, it looks like a load of seaweed has been carefully draped all over it . . .

Those seats at the back must have been jolly uncomfortable! I just know there is a term for such a seat, but I am afraid that I am having a "Dickens of a job" trying to remember what!
