A million miles away

Its so different here living on our Bonsai Mountain. Today I was working today in an area of extreme poverty, one of the families has taken a bit of a dislike to me as my plan to protect their children included making a suspected sex offender leave the family home. The chronic neglect, the abuse suffered by the children could, they argued, all be solved by a bit of decorating, I was being unfair. Sadly a coat of Do It All magnolia would do little to improve the chaos and I listened to their protestations and death threats whilst supervising his eviction I thought how lucky I was to live so far away and in such a different world.
