Maggie, I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. Please continue to send your lovely poetry, I know it is disheartening when you don't get many replies, I can't rep[ly this week, until I get home tomorrow as I can't access my e mails on OH's PC as I can't remember my password to get into it. On my pc it goes in automatically. I have to admit that I have stopped sending to people I know for certain are not going to comment. I have not sent anything since last Sunday as I have not had much access to this PC and don't have the e mail addys to send to either. Back to normal this weekend I hope.

Thanks Daff and BC, appreciate your response. Sorry , just feeling maudlin (A Yorkshire saying I believe)

I guess when you get to my age these things happen

There must be a poem out of this sorrow somewhere, will post it when I write it. Writing is such a release.

Take care

Maggie x

sorry, bumping this up with sad news as lost a cousin today.It has been frantic all week as he he was losing his fight against cancer, but at peace now.
Nothing from me this week, away in Scotland next 2 weeks, depending on funeral, but please send all your work. I will read all and comment on my return.

I would appreciate an update from someone who knows the people we are sending to, as I only receive 3 replies at the most each week.
I don't mind sending if at least an acknowledgment is sent. My poetry doesn't come easy !!

Glad it's cleared up a bit for you Ann , SpringWatch was on earlier and I noticed it was Simon in Dorset who said it had poured yesterday, looked very nice where he was. My brother likes Lyme regis , they have been down there a few times.

Weather was lovely today once the sea fret cleared. yesterday afternoon and eveninf was very wet but that is the only rain really thatw e have had since we got here. We were in Lyme Regis and it was sunny and warm most of the time, quite windy though on the Cob.

Afternoon ladies:) First of all, my apologies for not reading any of your writing yet. I seem to be caught up with 'stuff' !

Mau, I am not sure if I got it or not, it may be that it was on the missing laptop and I had intended to reply once I got home, I know there were a few e mails I had not replied to.
