This part was hard to read
Posted on Wed, 15 Sep 2021
This part was hard to read Jean, especially the bit about little John Henry. I can't imagine why any mother would make such a sacrifice when she had such a beautiful home and family.

Hi Rhiannon,
you have done a wonderful job with this poem. As we get older, it becomes wiser to leave the stress to the young who can cope...and it's good to be able to hand the grandchildren back at the end of the day.

Hi Hilary,
Wish I'd had a Mr Wicks when I was at school in the 1960s. I absolutely hated maths and could never concentrate on the subject I never understood. Even to this day I don't know where I'd be without a calculator. More teachers...

Hi Jean,
