Posted on Sun, 07 Mar 2021
This is really striking and quite apt for forthcoming mother's day nonsense. It's so hard for me to imagine this but it's happened to a couple of my friends and it's always with them. Your poem is an eloquent, sharp and moving. I love the last...

I like to think it wouldn't Insert. I would take pains to choose the best names for all the shoe designs. I have a list already and waiting. Luna are my favourite but we haven't got your size sorry, you'll have to take the Griseldas instead.

The was really interesting and enjoyable, thank you for sharing. 'The club' sounds like great fun and it's interesting how people used to make a real effort with their council homes and even tiny balconies, growing flowers. I don't know what's...
