The plane climbs through the sky... The last of nine plane journeys in the last month... Out of my window I see a full moon in the sky. Watch the meandering route of lights below. Veering to the right, the plane turns, Scotland bound... Finally heading home after a very busy six weeks, granted a … Continue reading A Last Word on Australia…
