NEW YEAR
House should be sold and we should be moving on to pastures new where doing what who knows all i know for sure is i will be another year older and life will still be changing , its going to be different and hopefully more peaceful we need a less troubled life we need to find peace and quite and get away from the rat race and concrete jungle we are in , and hopefully grey skies will become blue.
