* The Piper

While I lived in London - it was rumoured that when the Queen spent holidays at Balmoral - she was awakened every morning at 9:00 AM by a piper who stood beneath her window.

I can myself think of a no more magical way to be awakened.  Therefore - when I win the lottery, a piper is on my list!                                                                                    (found in a 2001 journal)
