I have recently rebuilt the wall of my 30yr abandoned rural home after my dad passed away 30yrs ago….rebuilt the very 2 rooms(1 rondovel and 1 6x6m flat), roofed them with thatch, fenced the place….

When I go there on a particular weekend, I play this song, I feel peace, Joy, courage and I feel special, I feel proud πŸ™πŸ™
