Well, what an accolade! (And as a rare treat for those of you good enough to be following this blog, I’ll keep this one very short!)

What a delight to have received a piece of fan-mail! And not just any old dashed-off-online-in-less-than-a-minute email! And neither just an inconsequential piece of barely considered prose,  oh no! Hand-written proper verse, in such an artfully neat hand that I’ve no need to even retype it for legibility!

So a very big (and hopefully subtle) thank Yo, to our admiring poet from somewhere along the Essex Great Road!
