Today's word is intertwine. When l think of intertwine l think of swans on the lake, that l often see sort of playing and twining their necks together. I also think of string and making sting bags when l was a child at school. Another thought that came to me, was of all the fishing nets and ropes l had seen intertwinned, when we were down in several Cornish fishing ports. My last thought was about platting my hair when l was at bording school in my teens, it used to be down to my waist! I remember using coloured ribbons to intertwin between my own strands of hair. The image l decide to publish for this blog, is one of a lady l saw on a train station. The colour of her hair caught my attention, as it was so shiny and the colour so unusual.
