Here sits my obligatory monthly acknowledgement of your superior skill set - you're really good. I feel like I remember being mad at this poem - is this the one that cheated me out of a top-line finish a few months ago? If so I rescind the pleasant tone that seasons this comment

Thanks you so much for your kind kind words:-) I have no idea how to leave a comment on 'the wall' as i don't do social media and I guess it is done via facebook. Just keep reading and commenting this way - I find it is the most successful way of making new friends n here ! Hugs Jan xxx
