Firstly, apologies that this week’s Sunday Poem is late, but it will be worth it! I’ve had a busy week but my ‘days off’ (my writing days) have been full of driving and poetry and more driving. As well as…
Sunday Poem – Gordon Hodgeon
The weather cannot make up its mind today. I spent most of my morning standing on Walney Island as a marshal for the Walney Fun Run with the wind blowing (although maybe not as hard as it could have done)…
