Before going in to sing this morning, this beautiful sight greeted us. 
It being National Poetry Day, I’ve just spent a happy half hour reading poems and finding one for you, Dear Reader, to mark the day. I’ve chosen this one from the book, Being Human edited by Neil Astley, a wonderful collection.. It seems to me to be just right for the time we are in right now.
It’s October 2nd, a family date always remembered as it’s my older brother’s birthday, more poignant today as he died suddenly in July.

Sorry to hear about your brother’s passing. It’s tough to lose the ones we love. Hope you have lots of happy memories of your times together.
