Hello dear readers, this weekend, I am going to Ballarat for my brother’s Birthday, and I’ll be taking my ‘Duck Muck’ computer box with me. Hopefully, my whizz brother will be able to repair it. So, that means I’ll be relatively quiet here on my ‘website’ until my errant computer is up and running again.
Feature Images: The gorgeous photos of the horse wearing ‘a crown and necklace’ is reproduced here on my poetry site with the kind permission of Derrick Knight >> https://derrickjknight.com/2023/09/27/polishing-the-car/


Pony wearing a fern necklace
The Forest Monarch
She roams New Forest
Like a natural born monarch
A true native of the land
She’s glamorous and charismatic
A perfect heir for nature’s game of thrones
A noble horse for our country’s warring forces

Thank you so much, Ivor. I hope your brother can sort out the muck
