What a lovely start to the day! (And thank you also for the blog-writing course, which I took five years ago and absolutely loved! Not to mention the wonderful history-rich walk around Spitalfields). I am grateful for the reminders of why I love this city.

He is so unlike so many people but one listen to his mellow voice makes you realise there is hope out there in your world, this world.
