Hi Turlough,

I bet after all that rain in Ireland, you couldn't have been that pleased to return home to even more rain and then floods to top it off. It seems the weather's been very punishing for so many near you. Makes me feel so lucky...

Your poem hits home in so many ways Jane. The world definetly wasn't as complicated as it is now. Back when I was young things didn't keep changing so fast, we had time to adjust and get used to a slower way of life...well for me it was anyway....
