Although the picture was taken many years ago the thoughts behind it mean the same now as they always did. It is about family and the importance of creating a family and the meaning behind it and keeping those you love together and showing them the love they deserve and need to grow.
The children in that photograph were separated and the ties between them broken forever and their small sister, Lucy, who was meant to unite those three girls will probably never be with the all three of her sisters at the same time ever again. There isn't much I can do about that now, how much I wish I could. Everything to do with that time is broken like the frame that the picture was in, but all it was needed replacing.
The fact is you can't change the past but you can re frame it and preserve the meaning and feeling behind it. As adults we make many mistakes in life but those little people in the picture which we united had a bond and although that bond may weaken it never really goes away. Like the picture those bonds can be renewed if only people will let it happen. The question is there the will to uphold the promises of the past, rather than to carry on the history of breaking them, I think not but I hope not.
I know I need to build the bonds between the two older girls and there little sister, whose face is just visible in the picture to the picture of the three girls. I know how to do that and to rebuild some of what is important to me. It is not a question of will that happen, more a question of when. For me the sooner the better for I can't carry on for much longer having two of my girls split form the other. I love all the people that matter to me and that will never change.
I just find what happened to me so sad because it was never what I wanted for my children. It what that picture showed that I wanted and can never have again.
I was amazed to find a story in the Rutland Times that for once allowed both sides to speak and for people to make up there own minds about a story to do with Rutland Country Council. Since I have recently been one of many criticising the local press I though it was only fair to congratulate them.
In their recent story about the three councilors they are thinking of taking legal action over not only did the paper give the views of the Conservative run County Council but also those of the three councilors that they wish to prosecute for deformation. So well done to the local paper for taking the right approach for a change, now all we need is some good old fashioned investigative journalism into stories stories pertaining to the council.
For those that don't know the about the facts behind this story, it was in the national press not that long ago about Rutland Country Council taking legal action against three of the councilors for trying to get information about the dealings of the council by using freedom of information requests and asking questions other council members by email.
Unfortunately they decided to call themselves the anti-corruption party which seemed to anger the ruling party at the council, as they thing it implies that they are corrupt. The government have taken a rather dim view of the council trying to use a legal route under the Localism Act to sue the councilors concerned for deformation to shut them up, but if this stops them using anti-harassment legislation remains to be seen.
The fact is whatever the decision is that is taken at the public meeting you can rest assured that it was made in private before the meeting takes place, like a lot of decisions the ruling party at the council makes, but that is politics for you.
Don't let the lovely sunset fool you today, the warm spell is nearly over if the story on the BBC News website is correct and the warmest spell since 2006 is nearly over.
With rain showers forecast for Saturday afternoon and then thunderstorms rolling up the country from France on Sunday marking then end of this part of the summer. I guess we will be in for more localised flooding some of the streets in the village and the main road will be under inches of water again for part of Sunday at least. Personally I have loved the weather, after all it was about time we had a change from those long damp summers of the recent past and something that more like the summers of old.
After all the sunny weather we have been having recently the heavens opened up over night, the sky lit up with the flashes of lightening and the air was full of the sound of thunder.
Predictably with so much rain the streets of the village flooded once again and peoples gardens were threatened with flooding because of the state of the drains at the side of the road. This is becoming more and more common when we get any significant rain fall. Lack of investment in the drainage system in Rutland to solve on going localised flooding is clear to for all to see. This isn't the first time the road shown in the picture has flooded before and nor will it be the last.
Instead of taking action trying to sort out the drainage system the council would rather do nothing and ignore the problem for as we all know spending on infrastructure is something they just ignore. No action will be taken until it is to late and the people mopping up the mess will be the insurance companies and the people paying will be the villagers with high insurance premiums.
Sometimes you have a day that just feels rather strange. Never sure why these happens but they do from time to time but they always have the same connection.
I can't really explain the feeling or why I get them, although I do know what they are to do with. It not the first time I have had them and I sure they won't be the last. At some point the reason will become clear and I will make sense of it as I have done in the past. It funny what he mind can do and the links it makes with others.
