Ellen is one of our friends. Her hair is grey but her face (pink and white) is young because she thinks happy thoughts and does kind things. For example, keeping a diary while on holiday abroad.
Reason? Well, according to Ellen, however much you see, you forget a good deal, so the best thing when you are visiting new places and seeing thrilling sights is to record them briefly day by day, and then.....
You've guessed. when you get home and you visit old folk on winter evenings, you can make your adventures live by sharing them. Just one of Ellen's notions, bless her!
