No’s    55, 72, 14, 27, 20 & 74           are eating fruit, they talk about ‘loss’.



Found last Tuesday the lost Island of 'UT'. I found 'UT' in nearby woods whilst out walking...the Island was hopelesly lost when I happen to come upon it. The Island continues to be in an anxious state. The Island resides in my back garden, alas I cannot sadly give it the due space it requires and I am not close to the sea...collect at anytime, substantiation of ownership would be useful.
