My goodness! Your warmth and enthusiasm comes across the ether through your words...

It's such a surprising feeling, to be appreciated instead of condemned and rejected and given the silent treatment, which is what I usually experience in this 'green and pleasant land'.

People in my neighbourhood knitted blue and yellow woollen scraps to encircle trees in the par, going to th Eton centre, and the Uni had a huge flag up, within days of the conflict appearing on the news.

And how the slaughter of innocent civilians goes on and on in Ukraine, and the value, and suffering of the lives of the soldiers of both sides is no less of course.

And in their lust of domination, the UK_USA_European elites care nothing for the fallout in terms of food insecurity for millions more people.

It's good to encounter a kindred soul who also can see th manipulations going on. Thank you for reading and commenting James.
