A few words from my sponsor

on my birthday

Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, 

but the very foundation of refinement; 

a sanded floor and whitewashed walls and the green trees, 

and flowery meads, and living waters outside

William Morris

and jugs and cake

and a decent camera

to record the passing days

(approx. 20,000 of them).
