'Who has gone farthest? for I would go farther...' (Excelsior)<br /><br />Tramp - I am no real sailor, either (unlike George!) Though I do prefer trains and boats to planes and cars.<br /><br />And Bonnie - 'I was riding on the Mayflower...' (Dylan). Saw the departure point of the Mayflower in Plymouth later on my walk.

My favourite place was Laugharne, where Dylan Thomas lived and is buried.The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-90000100691292273962010-10-07T15:33:48.157+01:002010-10-07T15:33:48.157+01:00i was looking for this poem only yesterday!! i lov...i was looking for this poem only yesterday!! i love the wind like a whetted knife.
