Thanks B&A. Seven - the number of perfection? It would be, but I added a bit 'I am a wondrous singer!' Meeoowwooo. lol.
Truly you are masterful with words. Great write.
Thanks Heart. Ilkley Moor is in West Yorkshire UK. 'Bah tat' or 'sans chapeau' is 'without a hat'. What we English doing on moors without hats? You knew us lot is eccentric across the pond! lol.
Lol. I'ma waving cross the shore. Hey, is that a frog I see waving green hands at me. I think I am on the wrong shore. Wave back so I'll know for sure. Lol
Would y'all in USA know what 'bah tat 'is, unless I (or someone else) from UK told ya?!
Haven't a clue.
