Hi Kath

I really enjoyed these poems. Very well crafted too. I liked:

what distant ocean
dreams,
had drawn their
silent vigil

very lyrical. And the "Tadpoling" was triffic. I've noticed that in next to no time, people have forgotten Woolworths ever existed. Maybe that's just down here in London. I remember 'the nets' too!

I shall pop-by again and read more of your great memories.

cheers

Fassbinder

ps. 'Eating sandwiches with pondwater hands' is such a great image.

Really enjoyed your poems, lovely slices of nostalgia - I grew up just across the water from you, have lots of relatives in the areas that you've written about, you conjure those scenes so evocatively!
