Yes Stephen, the French trains are brilliant. I travelled from Amsterdam to Barcelona via Paris a few years ago. Much more fun than flying!

I used to weigh my value
On what you thought
Of me

I do that too much Clare...with feelings of rejection, of not having lived up to someone's expectations; feelings of failure still lingering from my youth.
I need courage and honesty in bucketloads💓.

Thank you all so much for your kind words of support. It is important to me that you know, without all your encouraging feedback over the time I’ve been on WOL I would not have the courage to expose myself through audio. You guys have been amazing, you are all great poets in your own right and I have enormous respect for what you do.

Many thanks, Stephen, Uilleam and Grace.
Yes, Stephen, the reaction at Oxford is hugely disappointing. When I was a student we welcomed contrary challenging opinions as part of intellectual critique. Cancelling them is the first mile on the road to burning books.
“Phallusy” Uilleam. Excellent. I’ll pretend I wrote that.
“The Good Old Days”, Grace. We give our ages away!

There for the grace of god and all that for my own club. Best of luck getting 'back'. I know it took a long time last time...meanwhile the poem! Really like it, tells a very heartfelt story for something you love but at the same despise because of the money. I throughly agree!
