Life Trove

  • Steve:  Reading your blog is really amazing - I'm inspired to do my own! I went straight to the poetry of course. Poetry is such a special and personal thing. Yours is very good.
  • Ian said...:  Happy 5th B'day G-Trove. It is a pleasure to read and to be able to share your adventures .I just love the photography. May the good work continue.
  • Roberta:  What fun to surf here, it must not have been a mistake since I enjoyed it so much! Best wishes from Michigan, USA
  • Eva:  Amazing stuff, you make me me want to do more!
  • Hamish and Gabs:  Merry Christmas guys. A great list to summarise another great year in your life - you are a real inspiriation to us!
  • Have brought my Dad in to see your blog. Ally is taking him though the site showing him a bit of everything. he is amazed by the technology and the fact that you will have this scrapbook for your children's children. Reminds me of the Egyptian belief that, if your name is kept alive, then you are immortal.
  • Lizzy:  I’m really impressed with your website … and your life list. YOU write really well, and I’m intrigued by the photo of you covered in mud!?! I have a gratitude book I write in daily, but think your list and aspirations are commendable, because they are do-able. Maybe that’s why life is a little harder for us, we think too damn much!
  • Julian:  Hi Graeme, I have recently been struck by pangs of nostalgia and have been going through your blog (again) just to try and catch a glimps of what it felt like to be a little younger and a little more in awe of life. I'm touched by how often you refer to our friendship and treasure the carefree memories. Stay in touch and see you soon. 
  • Amanda:  Thank you so much for the news and for the reminder of the blog site - it is great.  You guys are sooo good at recording your lives unfolding - such fun and what a lovely memory - I must get some advice how to get started and maybe make it a maternity leave thing!   I think I have 4 years of digital photos that haven't got very far.  J's mom and family would love a way to keep in touch like this.
