A poem by our resident poet Andrea England on the passing of time.  

This year Shrove Tuesday (pancake day)

Is the  day before Valentine’s Day

It would be nice to have

Pancakes on Tuesday

And

Pancakes with strawberries and cream

On Valentine’s Day. Then

A week after Shrove Tuesday

It will be, Ash Wednesday

Which is the beginning of lent

Where some people

Fore- go a particular food-group, say

For forty days. It is, then, Easter.

Easter is the beginning

When nature starts to make a splendid show  

Angela’s peoms  can be found here.
