What a truly beautiful and eloquent response. You are a poet, my dear :)

I apologize for my delayed response.

I love how you write about both sides of this: from when you were younger and lacking in funds, to now, when you are a bit older and have some money.

It all makes a very big difference!

I've often wondered if Umair does feel tremendous hurt at the situation in the UK. I'm not sure if he lives there now or not but I get the feeling that at one time he did, perhaps; you make an excellent point with this actually.

I love how you write about not driving at all, having a modest flat in London and "haunting" the food halls of M&S.

Sounds fabulous to me!!!

I've started following you and would be most appreciative if you follow me back! I really enjoyed your reply to me
