ReplyDeleteOh yes, in darkness of fallen trees Dot will find her truth.

ReplyDeleteYes, the socks changed colour from grey to black on the recommendation or more correctly under the influence of Dylan Thomas who often writes of experiencing Bible black nights.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Rachel, thanx for your comment on my short story. I hope to write a couple more before the year is out.
