Henne
Hennetwistle has a railway stop
The name is Viking now it’s usually spelled
Entwistle, where reservoirs fill up
Manchester wants water , here it’s held
Too Thirlmere is an artificial lake
For tea in Manchester, those thirsty folk
How much more d’ye think that they will take?
Hamlets drowned, dull cypress trees that cloak
I once passed through Darwen on a train
On the way to Ilkley with my aunt
No memory of bliss with me remains
Except the flowers so wild, their ghosts still haunt
Yet nowhere else gives me the feel of home
This landscape is my body and my soul

Cheap and chic?

A New Yorker cartoon shows a woman standing at a department store counter, asking of the salesperson, ‘What would you suggest to fill the dark, empty spaces in my soul?’

Bacon well bred
As I looked down the list of groceries I could buy online I saw this
Outdoor bred bacon
Well , stone the crows.I’ve never seen bacon on a farm or with cows in a meadow
Next, chili with rice
I’d like some meat as well.After all it’s easy to cook quick rice and throw some chili powder over it.Even a few kidney beans would be better than nothing
Macaroni cheese
Don’t buy ir
Cook some quick macaroni and add grated cheese.And maybe some cream or butter
Why not start cooking again?
