Candelay! Candelay!

Two of my dearest friends, Jacques and Cordelia.
A Euro-Match made in Heaven, if ever there was one.

Not content with moving here, and making Our music Their Own, they produced two remarkable children to do the same, and more.

It was Jacques who convinced me to bite the bullet, ditch the bitch job, and take photos full time.

Cordelia supplied, among other things, patouli-scented hugs and kisses.

They're off living in Sweden, now.

As good a reason as any to envy a semi-socialist state that has too much going for it anyway.
