Thanks for pleasing responses to the poem - yes, Mary, it's mine. Could've sent it to Lucy for the pillow-talk comp but it's published - er - chiz ?

Do other people find it difficult to do competitions when they see the subject and realise "been there, done that" and can't come at it in any other way?

And Roger, if I may revert to the original Tennyson:

OK. it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved. But only just.

Ah, fond memories. I too learnt to spell from Molesworth. Haven't thought of him for ages, so thanks for reminding me.
