Hi lenchenelf, thank you for your comment. I agree, the Collieries fit very well with the theme of the poem. I can't imagine how much toil, human endurance, pain and suffering went into those mines and how rich it made just a few. It set the...

This is delightful, Jenny. I love mice, I actually saw one today, scurrying in a polytunnel., they do have important business to do. Segments of sun, yes, I want a whole orange sun for the whole day.

Really enjoyed. Boredom broken by something she maybe shouldn't have been doing but the alternative was more stifling boredom and resentment. I love the way the spa showed her the way out and into something new. Life is too short after all.
