This is sweet and sour. I enjoyed the descriptions of Cornwall here, so well done, especially the Hottentot Fig, once you learn that plant name, you never forget it. The energy and fearlessness of youth quickly expires but it sounds like your...

Wow, this is really sweet and touching. The lady in the photograph looks so happy. Music can be a medium for time travel. She must have so many wonderful memories.

Thanks for the cherries Insert. Unfortunately, the dust went everywhere, into orrfices, penetrating mucous membranes and causing a distortion of the status quo.

What a story and in it what lovely names and words. 'Legends expressed - myths reaching across time'. There is a beauty in the underworld, just as there is horror in nature. I love it when plants are linked to stories (& poems!). Some of...
