Thank you so much for your kind words Cathy and for taking the trouble to acknowledge my comment :o) I may not be able to always acknowledge once the gales and the signal failures return, just know that you are loved! :o) Thank you so much for visiting and we wish you and Finn a blessed rest of the day xxx

Really so nicely, and rather cleverly done. If you want to bring the lines together to make the reading clearer, you can copy/paste a haiku from somewhere and write over it.

Thank you for your kind words Denis. We often see entire trees on the beach at this time of year. A gift to many, when the tree’s spirit has long departed.
