You have a lovely knack with rhythm and simplicity, Catherine. And I think the poem catches a sense of get on with the life you've been given, and don't get fussed by the rush and noise and so-called glamour all around that is jutst distracting!...

A lot to think about there, of wise silences, and wrong silences. Oh, how we need a Lord of the tongue, but also of the heart that sets it off!
One thought also was on the hurt child of v.3. I've been reading a book by a friend who has one...

Beautirul tree tunnel. Nice
Posted on Wed, 17 Dec 2025
Beautirul tree tunnel. Nice to find it again, but it is always a problem you want people to see a lovely isolated place, but not to make it crowded. I suppose being used notably in a film or programme can have that effect, and the feeling that is...

A lovely description of an early morning glimpse. And then the transition to the solidity of the cows, but also very special. Many town children haven't seen a cow. When you first meet them they do seem very big!...

Thought-provoking.
I know my husband found the idea difficult of losing privacy of mind when we got married. His family were very reticent, and mine were bubbly and open. But I think we had an ability to be open while yet maintaining...

Yes. It came to mind last night as the wind blew so strongly. I knew I'd heard the phrase when young, but couldn't remember the context. I've just been looking it up and it is from a poem by Minnie Louise Haskins’ on “the gate of the year”but...

A lovely scene, shorn sheep

A lovely scene, shorn sheep and swan family.
