@NewRowPS It was such a privilege to join with the New Row St. Patrick's school community for their wonderful celebration. The child centred liturgy reflected so beautifully the spirit and values of the school. Well done to the fabulous Mrs Graffin and her wonderful staff and pupils.

Late August, given heavy rain and sun
For a full week, the blackberries would ripen.
At first, just one, a glossy purple clot . . .
Like thickened wine: summer’s blood was in it
Leaving stains upon the tongue and lust for Picking
