At the moment the BBC has its Poetry Season and one of the featured poets is Stevie Smith who recites ''Not waving but drowning''. I am wondering whether Carole might be able to post it here for us all to read as a tribute to a Smith poet?

It might also be an idea for everyone to tell us about their favourite poem.

Today we took the free bus which runs from the top of the road on a Thursday to the equivalent of a 'county town' here in Spain. On a Thursday there is a big open air market in the town where you can buy nearly everything you want and a lot that you don't want!! These markets are a very important part of life here and a great social occasion as well. We bought fruit and vegetables, a freshly baked loaf and a chicken that was cooked at the market in the huge rotisserie vans ...
