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...

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 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...

Your collection of images in the early part of this is breathtaking as usual, and displays your noticing eye and clarity of putting the images into words succinctly for others.

… but as you said, it is the space between that is full of good memories. Here the beginning, so beautifully described, and such pleasure, and seen now as the beginning of a full life, despite all the hardships, and the agony of parting. Rhiannon

I hadn't really realised the length of time involved from the beginning of the trouble, or how much was done at each stage of better health. This fills in so much of 'the spaces between' all along the way, the very hard spaces, and the happier...

Posted on Sun, 14 Dec 2014
I'm afraid I hadn't noticed this last week. It has an intriguing wistfulness. Love the feeling of the wind, and the sounds can be so varied and odd - nice when comfy indoors, like the sounds of the rain. Rhiannon

You've rephrased some of these thoughts, while redrawing the moment (stopping the clock in a sense) and there is much tender beauty in the captured scene, linked to past memories, and present struggles, which could help others. Rhiannon
