Running Fast
The River
The River is where I am, in a boat actually.
I don't need to paddle, the river takes me.
I've always run fast and the river is where I've ended up,
heading for the sea.
Where we all must go eventually, via the river, although there
may be other ways to get there, I'm not sure.
What do I know?

Sally's knitting
I love knitting and used to knit professionally, but now
I spin and dye my own wool and hand knit socks, berets and more, but just for
fun. I also weave scarves.
