Well, its good to see you around. Where have you been hiding?

Loved this..its totally you.

For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me.

A peaceful piece, one that made me think!

Hi Sven it’s Krissy (Mushy’s daughter) she said you were one of her oldest friends on site. Not meaning you’re old, but oh well,…..you know what I mean I’m sure

This is lovely so peaceful and dreamy like drifting into night resting in the arms of a dream. Really beautiful image this is, very well written.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Krissy
