I really wanted to leave the line about Siberia and London in because i have made that flight in January and we left Siberia in minus thirty and very deep snow and freezing fog - slept most of the way home and awoke to find ourselves flying over an intensely green English countryside - the transformation was amazing.

If we couldn't see the snow, we'd know it was there because of the silence - until the children come out to play in it! We woke up to twice as much this morning, but it has thawed steadily all day and now looks dirty and tatty. Gone is this mornings pristine loveliness.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-75667493544357044532009-02-05T12:43:00.000-08:002009-02-05T12:43:00.000-08:00What wonderful words...

If we don't accept criticism then we are never going to improve. I really was trying to get rhyme here and there - but maybe I have overdone it. If I think of a different TTlast two lines I will change it.
