I don't always comment, sometimes not having anything useful to add to the conversation, but I read every post and come away from each a little better or a little wiser.

I guess most of us who write blogs do it for the reasons that you have given and long may they continue.

After a life in inner city schools teaching, to suddenly (twenty five years ago) arrive back into a life in the country (as my childhood was spent)made me realise that I couldn't stagnate.<br />I love the life of blogging and would recommend it to anyone who ever feels lonely.<br />Also, I would advise you to follow more blogs. The more you follow the more you will find like-minded folk who are on your wavelength.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367416329197066280.post-37135685994942961402016-09-23T15:15:50.623+01:002016-09-23T15:15:50.623+01:00As you know, it was the Weaver's posts that in...As you know, it was the Weaver's posts that introduced me to your own beautifully written posts. You all give me a way to feel much more connected to nature than would otherwise be possible living as I do in New York.<br /><br />Your previous post with the Sandy Denny lyric reminded me of the important part that song played in Jerusalem, which I saw performed on Broadway one Easter afternoon. I sat next to an elderly Catholic priest who'd bought a ticket on the recommendation of his hotel's concierge. At the first interval, he turned to me, asking "Do you have any idea what this play is about?" I replied, "The English countryside." He said not another word and drifted off into a nap for the rest of the performance, being awakened by the drumming at the end.<br /><br />Best wishes.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.com
