Posted on Fri, 27 Nov 2015

Men searching, seeking to understand … get a glimpse, but can't see the whole of the answer … only supernatural revelation can do that, fill in the gaps, even help us understand the words we are told, or as much as we need to know. Rhiannon

Posted on Sat, 21 Nov 2015

Brings the era to life, or its trappings to memory. The longing for hugs is always there, whether the home be relatively poor, or rich, and whether we have them or don't, the value of them remains clearly felt. Rhiannon

The walk around the town, and her irritation over Alfred Jones' visits makes her seem more real, not just a line drawing of someone long ago! The Slug and Lettuce - what a fascinating name for a pub, must be some interesting history to...

Posted on Fri, 06 Nov 2015

It is so nice to have attention drawn to the detail of one little flower. You notice so much more than with a big bloom. I remember looking long at one autumn leaf with a little girl I was helping to look after, and making a poem on that, and her...
