Between tha three of them we manage ta get where we are headin alive an well.     The first stop on tha way here was […]

Wilburs Traveks – A spiritual Journey

Comin down the drive the view was spektacula, even good enough ta make me feel a bit gooy. I think all tha grass looks a bit fake, it’s so bloomin green. Tha trees were giant. Some were […]
