Thank you, that's very kind. :-)
Thank you Georgia for your wonderful observation.
Thanks, Norah! Good to hear from you!
Thank you Alan! I really like your use of ambiguity with 'the girl' which emphasizes the tender actions of a father.
Thank you!
It's though quiet moments isn't it? A time when I spent a long time in cafes, writing and seeing moments between people.
warm regards,
Alan
I got the impression that this father didn't hand out compliments very often, so when he does it's refreshing! Lovely, Norah.
