I poked your mum...

Saw this Tee-Shirt in a shop window in Leicester today. Simple, but worth a chuckle...!

Site News

Just a few lines to tell you of a few developments:


- If you found this site via www.fotoflickr.co.uk, my photography & design site, that's because it's now closed. If you are interested in buying the domain name from me, let me know.

- The email addresses & mailboxes associated with fotoflickr.co.uk have now closed also.
These include:
ryan@fotoflickr.co.uk,
sales@fotoflickr.co.uk,
info@fotoflickr.co.uk and
andrew@fotoflickr.co.uk

- if you have tried emaling any of those addresses, please resend your email to ryan(at)uselessdesires.co.uk. Just substitute the (at) for the @ symbol. Spam is a problem! You can also email me on ryanjaprice (a)gmail.com.

- I have just secured, after two or three years of waiting, the domain name flomo.co.uk - I hope to launch a new site offering photography & design services under the new name of flomo* in the near future. For now, www.flomo.co.uk redirects to my main blog at www.uselessdesires.co.uk .

That's it for now. Nothing exciting. Just thought I'd share what I've been doing while giving smoking! See you on Twitter? I'm @uselessdesires on there.

Bye for now...

Ryan

*flomo = flo & molly, my two cats!

A Mother's Love ~ A Mother's Day Poem & Some Photos

A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
 
~Helen Steiner Rice~

The top photo was taken by my brother Matthew, a couple of years ago, on Caldy Island, off the coast of West Wales, showing me and Jane, my Mother. 

This picture was taken way back when! It's baby-me and my mother, Jane on a beach:

This was my 'other' mother, my Grandmother, Betty Brown, strawberry picking! My Nanna & Me:

To complete the maternal line, this is my Great-Grandmother, my Grandmother's mother and my mother's grandmother. This is Nanna 'Pow' as I don't think I could say her name at the time! Me & Nanna Powell:

Finally, 30 years later, me and my mum in Brecon, South Wales, last summer:

Happy Mother's Day everyone. Treasure the one's you have, remember the one's lost...
