National Memorial Arboretum – Staffordshire Today we went to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, I’d never been there before and didn’t know what to expect. It turned out to be surprising for an unusual reason. The arboretum contains a huge number of memorials to different people involved in various conflicts. Obvious among them areContinueContinue reading “Emotional Day – Thank Goodness”

Killing Time
Together at last I have fallen in love The killing time is just beginning The days of joy/pain Loss/gain The love The silent telephone The kisses – the parting, The laughter – the sorrow I am in love The killing time is now Visions shattered Dreams uncovered Decaying in the wastes of reality The hopesContinueContinue reading “Killing Time”
When Laughter Dies
Photo by J carter on Pexels.com We once shared a sense of humour You made me laugh until I cried We had such fun together I felt warm and safe inside But as you got to know me To understand me inside out You moved from sweet exploring To focus on my doubt I’d feltContinueContinue reading “When Laughter Dies”
A Mother’s War

It’s a purely emotional blog but not a tear stained one. It’s difficult I decided to start with the patently obvious, but in truth this isn’tContinueContinue reading “The Trouble with Death”
