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...

I really enjoyed this little bit of escapism and Mr Lee's journey back through the years accompanied by the hustle and bustle of life around the cafe. I love it when older people make the effort to dress smartly each day. And now I want to read...
