Iowa – I’ve never been but I’m been near (a few states away). I hear spring out there is beautiful.

Yes, 23 hours isn’t that far away when you really think of it. A sleep away in a way (as long as you do sleep ;-)

It’s been a teary-sweet trip this year, peppered with “Dad said this” and “Ken said that”.

And it’s not just been the memories of what’s been said. It’s remembering his cheeky smile when sneaking that extra glass of wine while Mum was in the kitchen cooking … the way he wore his woolen hat to keep his bald head from the cold … the way he shuffled up hill to bowls. Yup. That hill.

But, life keeps fast forwarding on. And now it’s spring again. Spring in Devon. And what could be sweeter than that?

Loved your phrase, “a mere 23 hour corner” — when humans pay attention it turns out we don’t live that far apart.

Keep creating…a story worth repeating,
Mike

Btw – Happy Birthday again. I realise you are all the way up in Scotland, but here’s hoping you also get some of that fantastic weather. I do miss Aberdeen in the winter. There’s nothing like Scottish weather with snow on the ground and bright blue summer-like skies.
