beds

"looking like paddy's market" was a phrase my mum used to describe any thing that was untidy (like my bedroom) :-) I spotted the Antrim Glen photo immediately - I have one taken from a nearby location from 2006 - little change - the hills have not moved but the farmland/field layout is different

Foxglove I hear you! Our house was broken into once and the Guards were wondering why the burglars had so thoroughly torn one of the bedrooms apart - mine! My mother was so ashamed admitting that it had looked that way before the burglary... :D (have since improved)

lol did you guys see my room before? lol We say "you can lose a camel there". :)

TJ Ooooh, that's a good one! Definitely occasions when the work desk hides the odd dromedary or two.

National Library of Ireland on The Commons lol don't forget the bed and the closet :) ... oh and the lazyboy and the mirror table ..... and uhh .. ok you got the picture i guess :)

Putting a backlighting to soften the shadows from background.

Your pictures have explained that what all people have gone through in the days of WAR. All pictures are heart touching and gives us an IDEA that how people have struggled to live in those days. Now those days of struggle is gone. People in those days were still helpful to each other and they were loyal. Now when good days have come where there is no bondage then we have becomes each others enemy and making this world more crucial to live then in the days of world war. I hope that we get a lesson from this and work to make this world a better place.

Many thanks for adding all these tea-themed photos to the vintage tea and cake group. Obviously you share our appreciation for the reflective ceremony of this beverage, whatever the setting.

Tea time? How bout WEE TIME? This elephant bladder has reached it's limit!!!

brisbane childrens hospital Children's Hospital Brisbane Foundation Years One of the brighter aspects of life is to observe, particularly during a general retrospect, that directivity which leads altruistic reformers to initiate noble minded deeds to alleviate suffering. The need for righting a wrong, or correcting a circumstance in which humane action and consideration are necessary, is readily apparent to the many. However, it is that benign trait of human nature which brings forth the few, who in the ultimate, feel impelled to initiate and carry out the task. In Brisbane during the early 1870's, fifty percent of the population died before reaching the age of five years. The General Hospital did not admit children under that age as the prevailing idea in those days was that they would be better nursed in their illness by parents in their own homes. However, the parents' inexperience of the correct medical treatment, the financial hardship in the cost of having constant attendance on the children and the high rate of child mortality created a pressing need for a sweeping change in the care of sick children of tender years.
