Well, sure it would have been simpler, but my husband and daughter have both
remembered - individually - just recently about the breakfasts I made of
trout and biscuits. Even my ex has recalled those meals recently. It would
have been a lot simpler without the smoke getting in my eyes and the early
morning chill, but then I wouldn't remember the early morning quiet when I
owned the world all by myself. From one trip I can still remember the sound
of swan feet hissing onto the water as they landed and the birds appearing
magically out of the heavy mist.
Those are good memories.
