Beautiful poem, Penny, really captures the child in all of us. Definitely in need of some magic at the moment.

Going to cut this one out to keep, as we used to say in old fashioned times. 'The perish of groynes' - among so many wonderful phrases, this one took me right into the scene. So much sadness, and a small, tentative, desperate hope. Marvellous...
