I found this poem so moving and a personal reminder of the gradual fading of ones memory in old age, not so much of the past, but of the here and now.
Some astute woven metaphors add to the vividness too.

It sounds like you had an invigorating walk. The scenery looked so inviting with those black mountains in the distant east. The frisky lambs must have been a pleasure to come across too.
Lovely to read and imagine being there too.

Poor Vanessa, Annie is dynamic, which makes the story so real. It's so true to life, because I remember when I was young and how returning from travels abroad I'd be full of enthusiasm and wishing my parents would travel more. I have to say I do...
