And Then, All Quiet…

   It’s quiet here owing to an extremely sad, close family loss and will remain so for a while yet to come. No, not me, I’m hanging on...
   Close family but recently not so close owing to my world wide wanderings. Those of you familiar with the structure of a flock of sheep will also understand when I say I'm the black one at the back but this has never diminished my love and affection for all family present and past. Amen.

Very much so at our time of life - know what you mean.

A K Haart,
Yes indeed; it's been a very bleak year for old friends passing away.

We gather memories, bitter and sweet, the longer we live. I give thanks for my life and for the lives of others that have enriched mine.

Very sad to hear, Foggy. I’m always at a loss with such things.

James,
Very true.

Be not of faint heart - sometimes the odd old'n comes back over the horizon after decades of wandering like a true albatross. To settle or not is of little importance

Comforting words indeed. Thank you.
