'Writing a poem seems to happen by magic - you think a thought or feel an emotion and it comes alive in words.

Recently I've discovered poems written by my mother and grandmother and even my big brother, so it runs in the family! But I believe everyone has at least one poem in them somewhere.'

In your warm, beautiful way,
From the moment you first drew breath
Until your last mortal day.

Each jar's a little work of art.
Love it on crumpets or on bread -
Glowing rosy-sunset red!
...
Part-way down a mountainside -
Above the trees, below the ice -
Something told me loud and clear
That I would find an edelweiss!
...
Great slab of Wensleydale cheese
crumbling into the sea!
How old you are -
And yet, for all your crumbling, you endure.
