Spring social

I enjoyed another delightful evening of poetry, laughter and food earlier this week with my West Cumbrian literary friends.  The foggy evening in no way detracted from the evening’s theme of spring, as earlier, the day had been a beautiful gift of warm sunshine and gentle winds, a jewel in the golden crown heralding the new season

Our readings were varied with several of us choosing pieces from the talented and popular American poet Billy Collins. There were old favourites from Gerard Manley Hopkins and Wordsworth (no, not THAT one) and even an account of lambs racing from The Countrychild
