Great comment, Di_Hard! I

Posted on Tue, 28 Dec 2021

Great comment, Di_Hard! I know what Turlough means though - I love watching paint dry on TV eg Portrait Artist of the Year etc - and I have lots of ideas but not the skill. But writing or art, it should all be about enjoyment, at whatever level...

I'm not sure which country

Posted on Tue, 21 Dec 2021

Posted on Sun, 19 Dec 2021

Di Hard, that lady in the Post Office must have been an angel! I've been that broke too and am down to my last beans now. One year, I had only £1 in my purse. I stayed in and wrote four letters to go in Christmas cards I couldn't afford to post....

Thank you very much! But don't underestimate yourself! Your poems are always very good and you have your own lovely style. As for me being busy - well, I've just finished work for the holidays as I'm term time only. I've blocked my mind to it and...

I love the feeling of going

Posted on Fri, 17 Dec 2021

I love the feeling of going from the uncertainty and sense of cold on the beach to the warmth at the end. Also - the wash wash wash and eroding and soft as sand - with a feeling of patience and acceptance. Liked it a lot.
