Congratulations on the golden cherries. This really is a wonderful poem. I worked in Adult Services for a while, and saw families going through this dilemma. There are no easy answers and you're right, it does take courage to make that decision...
This whole series has been such a joy to read, Turlough. You brought the place and the people to life. I am greatly looking forward to the promised Part 13 and the prequel.
Hugely enjoyable. Although a Brit, I grew up abroad so have always felt a little bit outside looking in, although I found my 'forever place' here. However as it's in Yorkshire, I can adopt it as passionately as I like but it will never regard me...
