This blog was mainly about my time living in Madrid and my return to London
in 2010. I will not be updating or adding to it from March 2013.

Garden Conversations
Hello, said the butterfly sitting on a rose
I have come to have fun
By sitting on your nose
Then a big heffalump came and did a pose,
A pose that no other creature could do, I suppose
You see, heffalumps are cleverer than you
The pose that he did, twisted round and round
Until he finally gave up and sat on the ground.
Suddenly a voice shouted out: Have ya seen Vera?
Another voice called back: Yeah! She’s right near ya!

Miranda, who sat a few end of year exams today relaxed writing a poem. She is prepared to receive comments. Hope you don't mind her trying out our blog!
This is very good. Either it is due to the inspiration of the lovely view from her window, or or she is a reincarnation of AA Milne. Look to your laurels, Supermum. The last two lines bringing us very much into the present. And a mastery of typography - using italics!
Hope you don't mind me taking the title into the title area. It cleans up the index at the bottom of the page, otherwise it tries to quote two lines of the whole poem.
Is she - sorry, Miranda, there I go again - are you prepared to do an accompanying drawing to illustrate the event?
I like this because it creates a real picture in my mind of the butterfly and the heffalump! Reminds me of the dancing elephants in Disney's Fantasia.
