For those that don't know, as I didn't before I was told, the name of this small town is pronounced, Straven, don't ask, I don't know.
Wednesday started with my view from the window, the ground was white with frost, goodbye garden flowers, but very soon the sun shone through and, in the sunshine, it was quite warm.
I drove Hazel as she was going to put her signature on the paperwork for the sale of her salon, it was sad for her after more than twenty years since she took over the empty premises, lots of memories, it's a kind of grieving.
