Being just after Valentine's and all, I got to thinking about my very first love....Michael Eccles....I was seven and he was nine....he had a face that looked like Join the Dots, what with all the freckles.He beat the tar out of some pretender to my hand and was made to stay after school. That was when I knew it was LOVE!!

He let me play with his tin soldiers.....more than my brothers ever did, the swines!!I wonder what happened to him....I wonder if I remember him more because he had a sister called Jennifer ( old Donovan song)...I wonder if anything is ever so exhilarating as the first time you make a connection to someone other than your family?

Do you remember your first love?
