Good Friday walk



We went for a long walk around some woods near Canterbury, lovely day. Then had tea and a hot cross bun in a cafe. :-) Millions of ants

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me.
