Sarah And William Show Love Is Possible Without The Internet...

There's a Scottish tourist called Sarah
sitting on the grass at picturesque Picton,
New Zealand's inter-island ferry terminal
to the South Island.
She sees a man walking his dog and fancies him. The man, not the dog. Well maybe the dog too. So anyway, she writes a lovely note, an invite on a card, to meet her there on Tuesday.  Suddenly the whole world knows Sarah is looking for this guy and it only takes a nanosecond for him to be identified as William and informed he's the most desired man
on the planet.
And yes, they do meet on Tuesday
but will they fall in love and still be an item
by Wednesday.
For those watching this space.
An update Monday March 9.
Sarah and William have informed the media
that their relationship is all over.
And good on them, probably the only way the two will ever get some privacy. It's all got a bit out of control they said as they went off in different directions so they could meet up and who knows, perhaps travel the same path. Together... 

You've Been Gone Seventy Years Husband. What Took You So Long She Said. I'm Sorry I'm Late He Said...

You've been gone for seventy years husband, what took you so long were the first words Zhang Suiyi said to her ninety four year old husband Pan Zhishan after a lifetime of being apart.
I'm sorry I'm late he said with a smile on his face.
And then they hugged and the love they had for each other all those years ago was re-ignited.
It wasn't as if Pan had gone down to the corner store for a loaf of bread or a bottle of milk.
He was torn from his new wife by war when Japanese forces invaded south eastern China.
Pan survived the war and then life and its complexities intervened. He was ordered back to his parents' home in China's Zhejiang Province where an arranged marriage awaited him.
Despite both coming from traditional Chinese families and being forbidden to marry without parental consent the two young lovers went ahead before he went to war and married, determined to snatch what joy they could.
Pan never knew Zang was pregnant.
She had never been out of his thoughts and recently an internet campaign by local media brought the two together for the traditional Qixi Festival, China's Valentines Day Celebration.
A beautiful love story isn't it.
Brings tears to the eyes...
