Was a bit late posting up the link to the latest Word from Wormingford, as I was away on Friday and for part of the weekend, and have only just remembered. But it was worth the wait – lovely thoughts about ivy!

Evie, many thanks for these links to Ronald Blythe’s lovely words from Wormingford. I particularly loved the one about Plough Sunday – and the poignant image of the ploughman ‘one foot in the furrow, one on its crest’ linked to Yeats’s moving poem…
On the way back from the library today, I was admiring the ivy (I’m a big fan – it’s so brilliant for wildlife) and snowdrops along the way – and thinking of Ronald Blythe’s woodland full of early spring blooms. I loved his mention of the crinkle-crankle wall. There’s a huge one along one side of the churchyard where I got married (I have memories of the photographer balancing on it precariously, in order to get all of our huge family into the picture!)
