One Man's Travels: Just Wandering Through Life
http://grahamettridge.blogspot.com/2007/07/which-song-best-describes-you.html
Saturday, 28 July 2007. Just Wandering Through Life. Photo: Sunset on Bournemouth Beach, England - 2005). Okay, so it's my turn to get a bit soppy and sentimental now. Whilst searching for and booking my holiday on the internet, a very fond tune came into my mind. The tune was from a film I watched at my late Grandparents house when I was a very young lad (just about knee high to a grasshopper). Each time I hear this song, no matter what I am doing, I have to stop. Photo: Lake District, England - 2004).
