I also went right to the article about the pensioner and only wish it had been longer. Miss Gallagher has a lot of wisdom to share and a salty way of delivering it - I like someone who tells it like it is!

I particularly enjoyed reading about the Irish pensioner, taking notes of some good changes I can make here. It's freezing and snowy here in the New Mexico desert... The mourning doves and pigeons might enjoy some delicacies to help them survive it. Think I'll make some extra cakes in my batch cooking today.

She went to a small Scottish island to recover after an illness and loved it so much that she eventually moved there to live a crofters life. The Irish pensioner reminds me of her character.
