"Winter's rough weather beckons forth and the time has come to leave this cold land for another seasonal crossing and journey to an African place where the sun shines long and deep. We shall return to our native shores once more when the sun's rays seep through the ground soil and touchingly stirs the worms in their underground beds and encourages them to break new ground and show their heads once more." William Forde: December 6th, 2012.
