And now, as Monty Python used to say, for something completely different: this, of all the stories I've shared here so far, is doubtless the most prosaic (as in least poetic), but also the most personal and biographical, and so maybe the most 'real'. If you like this sort of thing, you might like it. If not, you probably won't. But if you do: thanks for reading. Enjoy!
LOVE & PEACE
