Accelerants and care.

Stress relieved is a mild ripple in the pond.

No tadpole, no frog.

We know some facts.

We have opinions.

We use semiconductors and where we don’t perhaps we should.

A calendar is so useful when distractions proliferate.

Tenderness. Watch out!

Extreme caution, calm seas and clear roads.

The sheep are gathering, the crops are thin.

Trade it all in.

Something this way grows brighter.

Under the table feet touched, toes tickled and the attempts not to smile were tangible.

No electronic devices could be seen.

Carrots looked orange.

The mist was swirling.

The menu surprised the most travelled tongues.

We sang in heart and mind, silently.

They wrote the book on measurement.

Treading water in the high beams of a butterfly set on getting home.

They said we should try.

Visit once at least.

After twenty years we made it.

Flags were flying with our names printed in gold and silver.

People we never met knew our names.

So happy were we, that invitations to stay were most appealing.

The sway of light and the return of the chosen piece of chocolate.

We had tried this before.

The flavor has been improved, how we do not know, it is now beyond compare.

Breakfast may be an egg or two, a crumpet, a bowl of crunchie grains, but the special moment at three in the afternoon is like an Olympic gold medal of a treat.

You may not eat chocolate, you’ll have to take our word for it and live vicariously through our smile of tasting the ultimate delight.

Goodbye for now, it’s time to board the transcontinental blue train.
