Posted on Tue, 23 Jun 2015

I guess they'd say that we wouldn't want the 'heritage' damaged even more, the old story of 'abuse it and lose it'. I remember a lively young lady from Holland visiting Ludlow castle with us and thinking she could go climbing on the half ruined...

Can you see the stars clearly

Posted on Fri, 19 Jun 2015

Can you see the stars clearly where you are? When we were down in Pembrokeshire we got out on a clear night and it was good to see them so much more clearly (not that there is too much light pollution here), though we had to wait til so late for...

To be ignored can hurt so

Posted on Tue, 26 May 2015

Thank you so much again, Stephen for that thoughtful appreciation, and I am so glad you enjoy these verses. It is difficult to analyse one's own writing. I certainly try to keep a rhythm and make quite a bit of use of rhyme and consonant and part...

So enjoyed catching up with this one, Tina. So many little details brought in lightly. Liked the bonfires' end and the starlings. Rhiannon

Posted on Thu, 14 May 2015

I've been wanting to get out

Posted on Wed, 06 May 2015
