CAUGHT 27 August 2011 Wandering down the evening pathway we used to meander down together I heard you calling my name – funny how the mind can play tricks - but no, that was definitely you calling me some distance ahead of me. I called to you to wait for me, but your voice, teasingly, tantalisingly, remained ahead of me so I ran to catch up with you, wanting you back and as I stumbled over a root you stepped out from behind a tree and caught me in your arms so I didn’t fall . . . and as my lips started to form the words, “Thank you” you silenced them with yours and I melted under the patchwork of stars.

You do romance so well, Diana. Have you ever thought of writing a novel? Ida |

Smiles, Margherita. Thank you for enjoying it so much. Thank you, JL. I love that darling little birdie. Thank you, Ida. I am honoured by what you say. I once started a novel for children, but didn’t get far. I don’t think I would know how to write a novel – now short stories – that is entirely another matter – but haven’t written any since I was a teenager – and then they weren’t long enough to be short stories. The idea of short stories is tempting, but I probably couldn’t write them after all, but it was fun thinking about it for a moment. Owl |

How delicious to be caught in loving arms. I so like the your use of the word "patchwork". Heart, stars, quilts, and mosaics. Lovely and romantic! ~Karen |
