Another Sunny Day

Today was another warm sunny day. We had been warned that Easter was going to be very cold with a threat of snow,time will tell. I travelled to Colne to see if Boundary Mill Factory Outlet had something I could wear for the BSC Dinner and low and behold I found just the thing. Not what I had initially wanted but still very smart and very me. I enjoyed the drive over there, the roads where quiet and the sunshine was an added bonus. All along the highway where the daffodils such a splendid display every year. We had a good crowd on Sunday evening at the Howcroft,so many poets eager to read that it was 11pm, an hour later than usual, before I got away. I am amazed at the number of talented people there are in the North West, willing to share their poetry. I feel quite privileged to be part of WriteOutLoud`s scene,my poetry has certainly been influenced by this and I am enjoying it tremendously. A rather sad day too, my good neighbour Arthur died, he had lived in a bungalow facing me for about 45years,his cheery whistle always a welcome start to the day. We have shared such memories, but we are all getting older. A dozen or so families have lived as long as Arthur, in our tight knit community but its enevitable that people will die or move away and our wall of comfort starts to crumble. Arthur will be number four.
