And the end of the line is where you can't stay,
For now it is time for me to say,
Lion, Tiger, Eagle or Owl,
What I say next will make you all howl.
Leave this place and all will be fine
For only Dragons belong at the end of the line!

Be loved. You can fall in love but to be loved back is awesome.

WYR Trousers or shorts (Men)
Trousers or skirts (Ladies)
But whatever if you feel that way.

My longest drive is rather short by comparison to most of those mentioned here but...
From my home in Yorkshire to Kaatsheuval in the Netherlands. A distance of some 425 miles (although 125 miles of it was at sea on the Ferry!)
As a very, very small child, One of my most enduring memories was listening to the radio with my Mum. The one tune that brings that all back so clearly is Faure's Berceuse. It was the theme tune to 'Listen With Mother' on the BBC Radio.
I recently bought the album 'Piano Portraits' by Rick Wakeman. Imagine my delight when Berceuse played. I had no idea that was the title of the piece and those wonderful childhood memories came instantly flooding back.
