Thanks Suzanne, sounds like you've moved from the countryside to a town or city, I moved from the city to a country town, I have no regrets. Tom

What would we do without our first cup of coffee in the morning, of course if it is accompanied with the smell of cooking bacon, well that is perfect! Lovely poem, and such true words! Blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks Jan, before I left home it was always tea for me, still have the odd cup, funny on a hot day you can't beat it to quench the thirst. Tom
