Coverage of the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster has made me think of this beautiful story that sensitively deals with some of the aftermath in Wales. If you haven’t read it, it is a must.

I have sadly failed to uphold #worldletterwritingday, but here's a #poem from @thecaterpilla20.
If you like this, you'll hopefully enjoy my collection of letter poems - 'This is just to say' - coming out next year with @FireflyPress. (Also feat. to-do lists, texts, post-its...)
