Old lady Quote by Neil Gaiman

“The old lady gave me a cup of creamy milk form Bessie the cow. The fresh milk before it had gone through the cooler. Nothing I had drunk had ever tasted like that before: rich and warm and perfectly happy in my mouth. I remembered that milk after I had forgotten everything else.” quote by Neil Gaiman
