Somewhere - sometime - long, long ago - there was a little red-haired girl who loved to sing. She even learned to play the guitar, well, well enough to write some tunes and get some gigs. The things she wrote about were , well, like anyone - about what she thought about and what she experienced.
So there were songs about love - and songs about things that touched her heart - and songs about the passing away of dreams.
She's still out there -
She just lives in a different world now.
Anyone remember ??
And by the way - she "LOVES" bubbles and running through sprinklers,flowers and trees - definately "Loves" trees.........

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
