Who Says Romance Is Dead?
A Moonlit Walk Well doesn’t that sounds lovely. Getting out in to the wonderful outdoors with the company of a loved one and the moon to guide your way. Romance still survives, except of course in real life the moon lit walk is at 7.30am and my loved one is my faithful hound Shadow. The […]

Autumn
Leaves and Time Autmn has arrived again, The leaves are fading from green to every shade of rust, copper and gold.
