Hi Colin, yes I meant again to "rhyme" with motorway. I prefer "at my back
door" to "at my desk" because a point I was making was that Skye may be a
wonderful place but ones own back door is more desirable ("home is best"!) I
didnt think of being locked out, or indeed of not having paper or pencil on
Skye. I also meant that things hit you later. Of course it's a very small
thought but it sat in my notebook for a while not looking as though it was
going to get any longer, so there it is!
