Right Manfully

The Miner and the Horse II
Images of the Miners' strike of 1984 reminded me of Paolo Ucello's Battle of San Romano in the National Gallery. Horses were in the same stance, there was even a greyhound racing across the fields behind the ranks of soldiers.
The Rose of Abyssinia
A Princess meets a particular rose for the first time. I have fallen in love with old fashioned roses with their glorious scent.
They Look Down on Us
These words were inspired by a poem by Billy Collins; They look down on us as they row themselves through eternity. They watch the tops of our heads moving below on earth.
Upstairs and Downstairs
Goosey Goosey Gander, there is a sinister background to this; to do with searching out Catholics hiding during the reformation!
