Dear Panagiota and sweet Irene ^~^ how lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for your lovely comment. I have not been commenting much for I while and for that I am truly sorry, but it has been such a difficult time. However, I am going to visit my favourite poets and good friends and see what gems I have missed. Hope all is well dear Panagiota. With love and hugs to you both from Ann xx
