A wonderful poem. I always

Read Part 2, then this Part, then Part 2 again! Such a great start to a story. Immediately intriguing and very much enjoyed. It's our Pick of the Day - choosing this first one as then people can read from the start. (Hope the painting is ok, it's...

The repetition in this is so effective. And a waltz, ironing, is perfect. Mind you, I deliberately buy things that don't really need ironing or look slightly creased. I would only iron for a special occasion these days which thankfully most days...
