Posted on Sat, 01 Dec 2018
I have teens and you've articulated the current situation so well. There's a huge problem with drugs too, they're dirt cheap and used in the same way we used alcohol. The pressures, choices, the constant scrutiny, exposure to everything too...

I really enjoy these nature
Posted on Fri, 23 Nov 2018
I really enjoy these nature poems Rhiannon, partly because they focus on our native flora and fauna. In urban areas we are often surrounded by plants from all over the world which look pretty of course but lack the subtle balance of nature which...

Really enjoyed. Boredom
Posted on Thu, 21 Mar 2024
Really enjoyed. Boredom broken by something she maybe shouldn't have been doing but the alternative was more stifling boredom and resentment. I love the way the spa showed her the way out and into something new. Life is too short after all.
