Hi Rhiannon,

hope you were okay from the fall. I suppose you can look back and laugh about it. Looks like a great walk though.

Such an amusing situation. I bet Sergeant Argent thinks Aefelthrith is playing hard to get, and is still in with a chance.

Hi Frances, I could identify with this poem. Lost so many friends and family since 2000. It makes you realize how much care you should put into the people that are still around to love and share time with.

Thank you for this perfect poem...

This was one Imaginative, spooky story Jess. I can just imagine Clara's horror at her mother's strange attitude towards the garden and its unseasonale weather...certainly gave me the shivers.
