You broke it Don, you fix it.

Thank you for the lovely picture of Dram Annie. The first time I read ‘Windswept’ I thought that you were walking with a dram, like in a hip flask. To keep warm. Silly me.

Night night sweet dreamies

Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
Have patience with all things,
But, first of all with yourself

Beautiful writing Annie, thank you.
