Member for Berkshire: Someone with a loud nagging cough.  A labour: The collective noun for moles.  Gyles' poem this week was 'The Sea was Angry Today' by 'Jane McCullouch' The sea was angry today. I did not argue. But watched it make its way, with familiar roar crashing and swirling  into the cream-foamed eddies, besides the rocks, filling the pools, and spilling out onto the battered shore. And as I glanced across the sand I thought of calmer days, A man, two dogs, a stick in hand, And a shimmering, glistening haze.  This week's episode is dedicated to the Purple family of Ash Touw and her very curious childen Yavanna, Ida and Ethan.
