Oh Kym, it's been a long time since I read a poem that moved me as much as this, too long in fact, but you have just managed it. I'm not at all surprised that this 'fluked' first as you put it, but it was no fluke, just pure talent.

No fluke about it Kym. You have an amazing talent when it comes to telling a story.

Thanks girls! It's bit of a saddy, hey? I notice no blokes are replying - either it's too much reading for the poor fellows, or they are too busy crying to type an answer!

Margy - you're scaring me woman! What are you/me/us/I/we up to now??? :shock: What quirky little scheme is ticking over in your cheeky female mind???
