However, it does remain grey and wet for a long time and a lot of people find it depressing. I don't. I think it just makes the spring that much sweeter.Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274925030972014073.post-91479191217736676142007-10-09T09:34:00.000+01:002007-10-09T09:34:00.000+01:00Soms als ik foto's van jou binnen bekijk, is het a...Soms als ik foto's van jou binnen bekijk, is het alsof ze hier gemaakt zijn.
