Next up we had the talented & passionate Emma Beynon (@writeoutside) asking us to consider ourselves as sounds and trees as different haircuts.
Our participants learned so much about senses, description metaphor, perspective, etc. So many excellent poems shared too!

Kicking off the second ‘Where I’m Writing From’ retreat today!
This project brings together young women from Wales and Zimbabwe to write poems and prose which explore place, landscape and home 🏴🇿🇼
Big thanks to the @BCouncil_Wales#GoDigital Fund for making this possible 🙏
The NHS is increasingly Privatised. (Pass it on).
I have a medical exemption certificate, yet:
1. The NHS no longer supply nebulisers. I need to purchase one in order to breathe...
2. I have intestinal failure = vitamin deficiencies if I don't supplement. I spend £50 a month

It rained last night. Petrichor is one of my favourite words. It’s the smell of the earth after rainfall. 🌧 The etymology is Greek, from petra (πέτρα), meaning stone, and īchōr (ἰχώρ), the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods. 💙
Incredibly powerful to hear first-hand accounts from key workers on the front line today.
They are the best of our country and the Government must do all it can to protect them.
