@SarahPerssonYes @BHHillustration @dylanthomashome We were right at home 😁

[Sarah Persson @SarahPerssonYes]

Incredible honour to perform last night at Dylan Thomas’s birthplace on what would be his 110th birthday, with the gorgeous @LauraSheldon76. Such a lovely warm welcome and @BHHillustration was incredibly engaging- her images are honestly mind blowing.

[Laura Sheldon @LauraSheldon76]

I don’t want these to end. Maybe you can carry on dispensing poetry every Sunday anyway…

[Sarah Persson @SarahPerssonYes]

The penultimate poem!!

@SarahPerssonYes Another brilliant poem, Sarah. I think this should be a regular Sunday service.

I am really NOT cut out to be the mother of an athlete… nail-biting stuff watching the live scores of the university surf comp and I’m not even there. Good win though (completely undeserved mum-pride)!
Back to the editing now @Rebecca_Writer
I’m on it.

A poem for my boy on his 19th (!) birthday. His 1st away from home 🥲

@Al_Humphreys Not all of us… some of us become performance poets in our 40s and run away to spend the night in creepy pubs and go straight up hills solo. The older I get the more I want to do the scary stuff.
