Tonight we are enjoying a little glass, a wee dram of very fine whisky, Aberlour. The distillery was founded in 1879, in Aberlour – full name Charlestown of Aberlour , Moray, Scotland, although there was a history of whisky distillation before then on the site; it’s a Speyside single malt whisky…and my husband Bari’s favourite It certainly is very mellow, and smooth, and I am enjoying it but I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite. It has a sort of honey richness and an almost apricotty background flavour.

Aw, thank you! And the same to you! I’m trying again to do a poem a day… so far they all seem very watery, but clear benign water, not destructive floods!
What are you working on at the moment?

Am self-editing my two books “The Winter Bites My Bones” and “Echoes Across Time” I need to find a real editor, but money is tight…not non-existent…just tight.

Self-editing is a bind isn’t it, I’m doing exactly the same, I wouldn’t even know where to look for a professional. Friends have read things in the past and have sometimes made really helpful comments, but it’s different from someone looking at the whole thing objectively, isn’t it?

You absolutely right. If I run across any affordable source, I’ll let you know.
