I simply fell in love with Cotswold when I visited it long back..... scenes from a fairytale... would love to go back again :) The poem has layers... very nice.

Re: Ciel
I hope I explained it to Pat. In those days there were quite a few tramps passing through, they did seem harmless so it was said.

It was of course the cramp, I expect I was told it in the way my Mother heard it. Folk were very broad speaking in that area.No I'll put a star another time.Once some Americans caught up with a group of ladies who were looking at our travelling shop.'

My question is the same as Ceil's.
I get it that "bloody" is an expression meaning "insufferable" but "quamp"??? Time for me to get out my dictionary "British English A to Zed."
Very effective and resounding last line of the poem, dark candles we remember from our future... How do you do it?

It's a dark poem with shards of light...
And now I have to ask, what the heck is a "bloody quamp"?
