My mother-in-law, nearly 95, has had no real contact with hearing/seeing the news for a long time. She read something brief recently, and commented, 'who would have thought in this day and age'. I was quite taken aback, realising she had...

Posted on Sun, 03 Aug 2014
I'm not sure if I read this before, but if so, I think if so I must have done so too quickly. I have now caught its picture more clearly, and really feel how it has captured much of both worlds quite simply, and effectively.

I liked this very much too. Concise, but not obscure. Actually, I thought that the rhino's horn looks like a pointed bone, so poetic licence! Particularly liked 'Labouring body lumbers' alliteration.
