People are sensing we lost our way and are reaching out for older more stable things. We shall see. There is a wonderful BBC Great Expectations on TV at Christmas.

This is our hope even if the beloved nation of our human history seems to have died.Alison Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12300516874593573205noreply@blogger.com
