Had the pleasure of staying at Kirkandrews Tower on the banks of the Esk. A stronghold of the Graham family.
The Grahams were one of the most notorious and ruthless of the border families, rivalled only by the Armstrongs.
It was said that anything that could be lifted by a man would be stolen by these people. The family even stole fish, building salmon traps to divert them into their private ponds and stop them swimming up river and into Scotland.

The truth is, men who struggle to let go of cruel women don't do so purely because of weakness, but due to a primaeval loyalty, mixed with the shameful, hurtful thought that the thing they love most will one day belong to someone else.

I have always found that people who dislike or mistreat dogs are the type of individuals to be the most untrustworthy among humans.

Some people will tell you they love you a million times without meaning it. A dog can not verbally profess its love. But, it will show you, and mean it.

There has always been an overwhelming number of people who work harder than the rich simply to afford being poor.

We all enjoy the company of happy people. And, I wish everyone as much happiness as possible. But, believe it or not, melancholy or even depression, though less comforting, are, on many occasions, admirable signs of an empathetic mind. Morbidly, but reassuringly, to be eternally happy within one's own life means you're incapable of seeing, feeling, and grieving for the people, creatures, and elements that suffer in and out of sight.

Less Is More:
The less people you have in any one place, the more of a community, the more housing, the more security, the more of a culture, and most importantly, the more happiness that you and your loved one's will have.
It really is that simple.
