Great song ! genius. You are making me home-sick for our wee cottage in the west Henry, this is the most played song this time of year, we are in our other place in Spain right now,would you believe having weathered floods and storms with impunity back home, we both have come down with clods/flu here in the calm sunshine ! Love is breaking a Paracetamol tablet in half and sharing it. jh.
