I love the picture you have painted in this andrew... Your writtings are always filled with so much charactor..... It is penned so cleverly you can actually smell the cigarette and hear the stroking of the broom upon the cobbled path... Very nice job indeed! ! !

My goodness Andrew, you have used such strong words to bring this lady to a form of life that luckily I hope never to experience. Just reading the somber story I feel blessed to have you tell it and be an onlooker. Great work where you placed and positioned the words, where only you know how. Top marks! Karin Anderson
