Beneath an ageless oak,Embraces of summer sun,Kisses and an ecstasyOf fingertips. The holy moon. A half hidden coin,Floats above the sacred river. Fleeting yet forever. Like a wren’s winter song. Or a travelling star,One Christmas night. We want to hear your views.

Dear Auntie Caroline,Firstly, many thanks for your recent communication and the accompanying images. These are really informative and helpful. We really enjoyed seeing those giant orange pumpkins you have carved recently (what a weird festival that is!). Although not as weird as that politician in America you mentioned who seems to be modeling himself with a giant pumpkin head. Really weird! And what are his supporters doing, walking around with what looks like sanitary products glued to their ears?

As Kamala Harris takes over the baton from the embattled Joe Biden, we can start to believe that the Trump juggernaut can be stopped. This is a race far more important than any in the Olympics. An energetic woman of color in the White House would guarantee four more years of democracy. Ed: This is the 1,000th article we have published in West England Bylines since we started four years ago.
