thanks ruth; i can imagine that fiery forge - a place that is perhaps painful but also necessary & for sure will lead to positive things. i would love to hear more about it over the coming months, i am definitely interested in, "invested" in, concerned about, the ongoing evolution of the fabulous beast that is furtherfield in all its many incantations. its value to me is immesurable!
