“Warning: my train of thought might be missing a few tracks … I’ve reached an age where it often leaves without me.” Don’t get me wrong, I love train travel.

I started … More Halfway mark at Nhill

To find those pleasures past and know we’ve just begun. Clouds form a veil of hope in times when … More Clouds and colored linings
