In my personal life I had an experience this past weekend which reminded me very much of your Golden Oriel Story. While a choir I'm a member of was performing in a church, a trapped butterfly was flying around above our heads. This happened during the Friday as well as during the Sunday performance in the same church. Afterwards colleagues said: this must be a sign from / the spirit of the lady who a couple of months ago had broken down during rehearsals and passed away shortly afterwards. When I heard this, I immediately thought of you and your mother and the Golden Oriel, which aptly illustrates how stories and story tellers accompany us on our paths. Our paths have crossed a couple of times at IATEFL conferences e.g. in the B&B in Exeter and in some workshops. Thank you for sharing your stories and your wisdom. All the best Elsbeth Mäder Dear Andrew,
