And thank you, Anghara. It means a great deal to me to have a writer as talented and as special as you are say something like that. I shall be walking on air for the rest of the day…

And only recently in the UK a whole load of bottled water was recalled because faecal traces had been found in it … it’s obviously so much healthier …

Bottled water really gets my goat as a complete waste too – except Perrier, which I drink occasionally as a treat.

I am surprised, though, that no-one has come up with the idea of marketing sealed bags of clear highland air for all those poor people in car-fume-filled cities. Any takers? ;oP

You have a real touch with your worlds. I love what you are doing.

I popped in to give you the wordmeter thingy URL but I see someone else has already done so – so I’ll content myself with just telling you that you write beautiful prose…

That said, I drink water out of the tap all the time. No problems.
