Enjoyed this, I ran away to

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

Enjoyed this, I ran away to Scotland too, but decades older than you! Would never have been brave enough at 19

I liked your accounts of all your jumper knitting friends, and their worries about Glasgow at night. They cared about you lots,...

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

I really like the idea of dandelion seeds floating through the air being like kind words that we keep "squirreled away" maybe forgotten but their kindness roots in us, like a little sun, maybe one day to set free comforting words from us, that...

This was very intesresting

Posted on Mon, 09 May 2022

This was very interesting, thankyou, But also,  a father's love shines through, making this so much more than a well written perspective on unfolding History. Am so glad he is home! If there is increased conscription in Russia, it must be better...

If you do get in to correct

Posted on Tue, 03 May 2022

If you do get in to correct things, you have Heath 1974-1974?
