What a good poem. I just listened to you reading it - and you really made it sound like a street rap. And such a truism - trying to live up to one's parents' or partner's expectations is very hard work.

This is lovely and very nostalgic. I too liked the Willow weeping (my favourite tree).
When I was selling my house, the agent made me describe my conservatory as a garden room because we had changed the plastic roof for a...
