The way Mum put it, Aunt Beth lost it when she moved away from the civilised world, but maybe she’s been saner than any of us; she’s had years to acclimatise.

Beth’s cabin’s clean, dry and there’s good coffee – beats what’s left of civilisation.

Wonderful scene you establish here; I just love the cozy feeling that I get, wanting to be in that cabin to breathe in the aroma of the coffee and to feel the warmth of the stove. Gorgeous!
