(I always make a copy of the original photo then it doesn’t matter if I mess up the edited version}<br />Happy snapping!

When his little brother who constantly talks asked where he was going on honey he said, 'To go and see Shrek and Fiona, you can be the annoying donkey.' Unfortunately for him the name stuck.<br /><br />A few years later we were over in Ireland and another ceremony was about to take place between the annoying donkey and a second cousin. Unfortunately the groom did a runner at the last minute. Hopefully this won't happen later in life.<br /><br />Aren't kids wonderful!<br /><br />Lindawannabe a writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692361757891220849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-24018964431992212562012-06-26T21:11:30.360+01:002012-06-26T21:11:30.360+01:00Hi Teresa,
