Thanks SRS. I was off on a quest that appeared out of the blue. A Pantomime popped into my head and suddenly I was up on a stage with all the friends I could con. We even made a donkey costume to be worn by a local carpenter and his teenage daughter. But I'm back now. So nice to be missed.
Thank you for all the nice comments about Billy Barlow. He took over my mind about 10 years ago. We actually stayed with a friend in Gila who identifies strongly with Billy Barlow. He wrote a song about him from the inside - so to speak. Also I still have a long way to go before I am done with Billy. I just found a few more references to him here in Australia.
I'd be delighted if anyone would like a copy of the book. Send me a PM and I'll arrange it.
OK back to the Adventure. Cheers, Joy
