I'd never thought of hearing the tale from the other character's POV: smashing ending.<BR/><BR/>Funny timing, because not long ago I mentioned going to Rathlin Island to a friend; she asked about puffins. They have puffins? I'm going for the spider's cave. I like birds all right, but I like history and folklore better.<BR/><BR/>Wishing you a lovely Saint Andrew's Day---Susan at Stony Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385202649291774852noreply@blogger.com
