Inquisitive nature
Yes I agree that is one way I would describe what I know of you. Stanley sounds lovely and if we ever get there we will order the fish and chips. Love the tale of the gnomes ...we should sit in wait to see how it happens. Dave, I always look forward to each addition of your blog and wait until I can give it full attention because I know you will transport me to some wonderful and amazing place. Thank you, MJ
