Beside the beautiful harmonies in this song, I love the image of two men sitting on a bench—comrades of time; keepers of memory.

ReplyDeleteI hope that was just a film Tom! Or not. Actually, I'm hoping it doesn't exist anywhere in any form, haha. And btw, please don't die for a long time.
Amy - hope your cold goes away soon. What I wanted to tell you - when you said you might 'google' where we live. If you type in Leighton,Welshpool, Powys UK you may be able to find a road called 'Hope', follow it on up and you will see 'Harp Hollow' and a little bit further up there's a place called 'Lord's Buildings' which is right on top of the 'Long Mountain.' We live down below at the foot of Long Mountain!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks Molly! It will be fun looking it up with the kids.
