That was a very interesting
Posted on Sun, 19 Jun 2022
That was a very interesting read. How lovely that your mum and auntie were so close and supported each other and were able to live out their retirement in a sunny place. Sorry for your loss. It was insightful to read about the all the stages of...

Posted on Thu, 16 Jun 2022
I really want to visit, haven't got around to it yet but it's one of my dream destinations. Love 'brawny landscape' and the way you describe the dawn and the ripples on the loch. Wish I was there now.

You've made so many valid
Posted on Tue, 31 May 2022

Posted on Sun, 29 May 2022
I like this poem, it speaks of the coiled spring like energy that lives inside all horses, along with the need to be both loved and led. I particularly love the last line.
