About half-way across, the lights changed, and a bus began to inch nearer to us.

It's the kind of closeness with a stranger that would only happen in bad weather, and how much closer does bad weather bring us to our neighbours?<br /><br />Well done, Karen! I bet your Mom is proud of you. You already have a voice, and it's lovely to read it in the newspaper as well as on your blog. Thanks xoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
