Snowflakes flutter down and land on my head like confetti Reminding me of the day we became joined in matrimonial bliss. Your eyes shone like sapphires as you glided along in your wedding dress Not just the centre of everyone’s attention, but for me, the centre of the universe. We sealed the promise of till-death-do-us-part …

The wild winter wind blows down the hills and across the glens.

An alcoholic said to a heroin addict, “there is no difference between us, we are just the same”, the heroin addict looked puzzled at this remark.
