Carol's Poems

I haven't written anything for a while but today, I feel I must. My relation (great niece?) enabled me to get to her website and read some of her poems. I am not really in to poetry but some of them brought me near to tears and some bits made me laugh. Very clever stuff.

I think that link will get you to them.
Carol Ward is the daughter of Liz (who is my half sister Gerry's daughter) and Terry (who tragically died recently. Gerry and Terry would have been very proud of Carol who is embarking on a Masters in creative writing later this year. I keep in tough with my family through facebook. Carol's sister Alison introduced me to facebook which I thoroughly enjoy and am trying not to have it as an obsession.
I had to read a poem by Wendy Cope at Samantha's (my God daughter) wedding. I was a nervous wreck. For Christmas later that year I gave Samantha and Jon a signed copy of the book of poems by Wendy Cope that had the operative poem in it. I had written to Ms Cope and told her the tale and she put a special message on the page of the poem which was called Hungerford Bridge.
