Oh, Miss Blue, so much to say and think about. The Village people are sequestered. . . yes, they are not out and about, especially the older ones, afraid of falling! So tiresome, Miss Blue. I for one, am Not afraid of falling, having not fallen recently. There is nothing like Not being afraid of falling. Like the Postman, neither Rain nor Snow can stop me - although barking dogs on chains and low flying crows can throw me off balance, I will hastly admit. And so I will say, as I did long ago when sending the many children off to school, c'est le guerre!
