Currently reading Catherine Ayres Janus. These are poems that contain what can't be contained. A serenade to streetlights like snowdrops, cow pats, solitude and love. A luminous collection, I can't recommend it enough.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire.
I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern.
Love,
David

It’s looking like the rain forecast for tomorrow will hold off until after we’ve finished, but maybe bring a brolly just in case! 🤞🏻🌂 🙏🏻🌥️ If the forecast changes and we’re forced to cancel, we’ll let you know via social media and our newsletter before noon.
Our annual open air open mic is back on 3 August in the beautiful Plantation Garden in Norwich. We can’t borrow chairs this year so bring along something to sit on, as well as your poems and publications. plantationgarden.co.uk/event… cafewriters.co.uk/saturday-3…
