    Six Months

    Results come from sustained work over a long period of time.  Dreaming about work is not work. Thinking about work is not work. Talking about work is not work. Writing about work is not work.

    Bells of friendship

    English villages have a charm of their own. Cottages with thatch roofs, stone walls, dating back sometimes more than a century and gardens that clearly showed the enormous attention and effort that was put into them.
