She did not like the lead. I remember Kali bucking like a bronco when I put one on for the first time. The human need to protect , control, the umbilical cord that will hopefully one day be abandoned replaced by trust. But now, as I prepare to walk her down the Beccles road, she… Continue reading Kobo days

When I contacted Sue, she had already the wheels in motion. She organised a gathering at the… Continue reading Metfield shop 20 years ago
