Thank you Vera. You are certainly one of my last visitors before the year ends (I know your new year has started already, so here's wishing you a happy new year...once again!!) Yes, love needs nourishment and one has to make sacrifices and persevere! Take care // paul

Such a dramatic and powerful one liner. It needs no more, for it says so much! I return from a long spell away from PS to find beauty all around. I hope to catch up on all you have written since my last appearance and perhaps contribute some writting too. Life has been so busy but i need to make time. All the best for 2018! Warm regards, Laura
