Because (I presume) you are writing for students with English as their second language, I learn more. There is no presumption in your writing. I love that.

And - this song is very pertinent to the times we are in.

Good morning, Louise!

Good morning, Cecilia, and thank you for reading.

This song is pertinent to today and to so many times throughout history when people banded together to stand up to bullies.

I hope it is true for the current tyrants, especially the Cheeto golfer.

There is courage, inside each and every one of us. We each do what we can with what we have, where we are. No, it doesn't seem like enough. But there is no alternative. Stick together. Be kind to each other. x

Wise words Louise, I will keep them in mind… I’ve stopped watching the news but sadly have an obsessed hubby who relates all at each mealtime… I may have to record your words so I can play them on repeat, to him too! x
