The Mumbles Lighthouse: Swansea in the Snow, a year ago |
The city dogs in my poem, 'Ice Floe', are not so fortunate. My other poem in this number is also on a snowbound theme; 'Ötzi the Iceman', whose death has sparked so much archaeological controversy since his body was discovered. My light-hearted poem about Santa's unruly reindeer has been accepted for the Christmas edition of the online Writelink magazine, Writelinkers, edited by Maureen Vincent-Northam, David Robinson and Trevor Belshaw. My time as Writelink 'Writer of the Month' is drawing to a close - and as the snowy season is definitely not too far away, you might enjoy a peep at the Fenwick's Christmas window, in Newcastle, where I lived and studied many years ago ...
... Meanwhile, a very Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the USA!

Hello again, Caroline! {waves} I'm sorry it's been such a long time. I've been in unwilling hibernation, or aestivation perhaps. Anyway. I have to thank you for introducing me to Quill & Parchment. I have a poem in their December issue issue :) which is indirectly all your fault ;) and of course I'm chuffed.
your picture is gorgeous. sounds like you've been plenty busy with your writing/ being published, :) keep up the good work. hope all is well.
Hello Caroline. since you wrote this in November you have probably had some snow as well. We are threatened with quite a bit tonight in the south-east. Not nice for travel but produces some very pretty photos. Sounds like you have been very busy in the literary department. I have always been fascinated by Otzi - who could fail to be. The Fenwick windows are gorgeous. I remember when all the big stores in London used to have displays like that. Those were the days. Cathy
Great photo Caroline, and congrats on your publications.
Photo looks very folding mirrorish, with sky and sea above, and land and trees below, the loch ness monster looking lighthouse.
Merry Christmas to you and everybody Caroline.
Nadolig Llawen, Marc - and everybody!
A great thought, thank you. Perhaps you should have a go at writing the poem sometime, Marc . . .
