The youngest was only seventeen and was, like most of them, a not overly bright, very unsophisticated country lad. <br />I'm not sure if a ballet really pays tribute to his short and hard life, or whether it's just cashing in. I suspect he would never have had the chance to see a ballet himself, even if he had lived to a ripe old age.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-47704403024632106122014-04-11T18:34:26.757+02:002014-04-11T18:34:26.757+02:00The entire post had me laughing out loud.

I guess she feels at home there. I have to say it...some women can't live without their daily soap opera fix....smile.<br />My mum on the other hand would have said...familiarity breeds contempt.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-81044553052544193472014-04-11T12:31:24.479+02:002014-04-11T12:31:24.479+02:00Sophie aussi.Sophie aussi.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-24267335391484607302014-04-11T12:30:38.943+02:002014-04-11T12:30:38.943+02:00A hope shared here too.
