Betty An absolutely exquisite epistle. I agree with everything you wrote. If I have to live in the UK then it's Leeds or the highlands. I think your sentiments apply to politics too. The most awful part of our 'neighbourhood tragedy ' is that any Israeli and any Palestinian of any description, who is not an official would have this strife over in 15 minutes. In the 60's we prayed for Power To The People. Internet is part of the dream but not politicians and religious leaders. They ruined this planet. Long way from LU. But not really. My most formative experience in dealing with the world outside of my holocaust haunted insular family was on the terraces of Elland Road. That was the place I learnt that I am equal and belong to something else much wider than our fears and sadness. Strange how that admixture of feelings have become the mainstay of my emotions 60 years later. A lovely letter, Betty. When your raising your next wee drammie gies us a thought or twa. Michael
