I'm not a fan of the Family,

Posted on Mon, 18 Apr 2016

I like the way the poem's structure emphasises the ambivalence, the simultaneous need for and fear of dependence.  The poem also makes you wonder about the dynamics of the relationship, and what the 'other half' thinks about it.  A good read. ...

The magic of the not quite

This is a really interesting

Posted on Thu, 24 Mar 2016

This is a really interesting read - I love the mix of fact and personal reminiscence.  I've never read 'A Kid For Two Farthings' but I remember seeing the film on telly years ago.   As far as I recall Diana Dors was in it - which sounds  unlikely...
