Posted on Thu, 29 May 2025

Never having heard of Glen Dun's water, just had to look it up. Discovered the water comes from peat bog on the slopes of Slievenanee on the Antrim Plateau in Northern Ireland.

Loved the description of tan waters that rippled by the house...

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...

It breaks my heart when I hear of situations like this. That poor mother must be so scared, and the girl terrified of the future. So sorry for them both. I hope they will both be reunited soon and the mother doesn't have another stroke.

Your memory brought back my

Posted on Fri, 23 May 2025

Your memory brought back my own. We were living in a condemned cottage that was to be pulled down in about 62 or 63, but my dad managed to get a better paid job, with enough money for a morgage, otherwise we'd have been moved in to a flat too....
