Sharron, My pleasure. I loved Bartle. It spoke to me of a different time - one that is missing today. Your travels are amazing and I love reading about them as well.

"Our passion and purpose are the inspiration that keeps us going." Oh yes, Janice! At my age (really really old) I feel my purpose has been successfully fulfilled by a life time of service in education. Now I can focus on pure passion. I wake up every morning ( thank all the gods ) get a cup of coffee and sit down to write! Finally I can just focus on fiction, and not worry about having to sell it. If anyone finds 🍁Leaves -- a tiny needle in the huge Substack haystack, I hope I can entertain them, make them laugh or break their hearts. It is what I live for now that my "work" is done. Thanks for confirming for me that this is GOOD! And thanks a thousand times for your shoutout for Bartle Clunes in this post. It means the world to me to have your vote of confidence, my friend. Thank you for always inspiring us.
