Signs of Spring 3)

Signs of Spring 2)
Hardly noticeable, tiny flowers: if the sawflies don’t arrive and munch (none came last year, so hopefully no cocoons in the soil – must remember to...

That third verse is
Posted on Fri, 10 Apr 2015
That third verse is especially lovely, and captures that view. All birds of prey seem so elegant, especially the kite. Is the pic a kite, I thought their tails were always more, or less, forked? I know I'm sometimes puzzled at the 'less forked'...

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2015
I thought it was a dog, but it seemed to be a cat! Liked the digging and the perfume. But wasn't sure about the 'his' in the last line - is it the husband having nine lives or should it be 'your' referring to the cat? Maybe I'm totally wrong, if...

What a lovely little inciden
Posted on Fri, 27 Mar 2015
What a lovely little inciden capturedt! Was it a green woodpecker? I gather they do hammer sometime but my husband used to tell me, if it's the hammering you hear, then it's the greater spotted. He keeps having to turn my attention to it anyway,...

Posted on Mon, 09 Feb 2015
I can only say, how compassionate and caring the staff are where my father-in-law is. (and it is just a basic nursing home, largely council funded, they have recently introduced a very minimal top-up and of course there is always means testing)....

Posted on Tue, 03 Feb 2015
I really liked the way you slipped in the descriptions of the garden eg ' the smell of pine as refreshing as a bucket of snow, needles crunching underfoot.' That whole paragraph seems to have so much vivid description just tucked in...

Horrible, Bee. Getting callous like this to animal suffering, must so easily lead to callousness to human suffering too. Rhiannon

A lot of concentrated vivid
Posted on Sun, 25 Jan 2015
A lot of concentrated vivid images here, and memories, and the contrast of attitudes to danger and hurts. Specially liked the first verse, and the lines about the moss. Rhiannon

Interesting cameo of bright
Posted on Fri, 16 Jan 2015
Interesting cameo of bright memories, a bit like Jolono's recent 'Under a London Sky' memories of the beginning of a courtship. I liked ''Occasion marked: Us and 'Coat-hanger tourists' too. The Brolga Dance certainly sounded...
