Ergo the photograph... to refresh that memory😉

Some of the most valuable possessions that I have are old snaps of my late wife.
She disliked getting photographed; few shots of her exist. I have a cut-out from her old International Driving Licence in my wallet; it lives beside the one of myself from my own licence of the day; amazing the amount of hair and beard that I used to own in the late 70s.
And yes, they certainly do make the person come to life; after five years, the mind loses its accuracy in such matters, and a photograph refreshes and reminds one like nothing else can.

When you look fondly at a photo of someone you care about, you fall in love all over again.

Only if you have first been able to fall out of it first!
I can tell you, I look at my old Windows XP and Vista with very new love! I hate, detest and loathe the new 8-bitch that's moved in at my own invitation!
