Winter Refuges
Tiny folded leaves encased in tough scales … protected from the burning frost … waiting there to grow, unfold … And the bulbs are safe as well … hibernating like the tiny dormouse; chemistry on ‘slow’ ’til switched to ‘fast’ with …

Bereavement at the lockdown
Posted on Wed, 12 Oct 2022
Bereavement at the lockdown time must have been very difficult especially if younger family weren't able to have much contact, but hopefully many would be inovative in ways to keep in some sort of contact - through windows, and phone, skype for...

Posted on Sun, 09 Oct 2022
Hi, Jean. I too can commiserate to some extent. My teeth are so poor that 3 broken teeth didn't hurt and didn't count as an emergency, as our dentist and then 1 or 2 others retired/left the practice and dentists don't seem to want to come to...

Posted on Sat, 08 Oct 2022
Evocative memories. Nice to share. Reminded me of granddaughter emerging after we'd settled her last night, to say she's heard what she thought was a thief, and she was afraid. My husband had been earlier reading her a story where a missionary...

This is very interesting Maxine. I take it it really happened to you, not a made-up story. I think you said that the hours allowed for sleep were shortened each day. Will be interesting to read how it went. Long way to travel. Rhiannon

Another lovely intense little poem, feeling the rushing wind brushing your face! My father loved standing on the promenade in West Wales in a gale saying it was 'blowing the cobwebs from his head' after so much deskwork in London! I loved the...

Posted on Fri, 30 Sep 2022
I respect how much you get on with things, Jean, and also your openness about doing probably unwise things when exhausted. I liked your last sentence! It reminded me of ' And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can...

Written so tightly, but begs so many questions. Feel you get to know her enough to realise how much you'd like to understand as to how she is now! Did she keep clean from the cocaine herself, get through her degree, and the self-harming …? ...

I'm glad you highlighted the pleasure of taking time to breathe in the fragrances and feel the softness (and squelchiness sometimes!) of the damp green beneath your feet! Rhiannon;
