I think Alistair is making

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2022

I think Alistair is making progress concentrating on his Audi, rather than Lynne's passions for humiliating snips and other crazes. At least he's doing something constructive. I'm loving the storyline Jane with all its conflicting emotions....

This is so delicately written

Posted on Wed, 13 Apr 2022

This is so delicately written Rhiannon. Such a pleasure to read, especially as most of our pink blossom has fallen.

I love the close up photo too, did you take it? 

Thank you so much for sharing.

Posted on Tue, 05 Apr 2022

Hi Rachel, I'm so sorry I nearly missed this poem that speaks from the heart. I would love to be a part of that daisy chain you speak of. There's a humbling feeling as I read, that's spiritual and happy just to be.

Beautifully written....

You've caught all the garden

Posted on Thu, 07 Apr 2022

Hi Rhiannon, you bought back so many of my own memories in this poem. My mum always did her washing by hand at the sink when I was young. We had a mangle too, but I don't recall how she got the washing dry in the winter months, as we only had one...
