Nicely done, P and timely. It's a horrendous mess. I read today that over 800 Russian soldiers are dying a day in Ukraine. Horrific.

Really enjoyed this. The description of St Thomas' is spot on. Most of all, I loved the interplay of memories. I hope there's more to come.

Really strong imagery. Enjoyed this and, being a dog owner, definitely strikes a chord.
