Sticks ‘n’ Stones…

*

For the last three workshops

we have tried to incorporate some continuity…

*

In Dorset we worked with Planets.

In Cumbria we worked with Vowels.

In Derbyshire we worked with Colours.

*

All of which can be linked.

*

Nice then to have rainbows ‘stalk us’ on this trip…

*

… Which, as we have tried to emphasise,

had very little pre-planning

at an organisational level, at least, on our part.

*

Even when things appeared most dire…

We invariably found we were face to face with,

a rainbow!

*

Wen started referring to them as ‘ironic’.

Which, clearly, they were not.

*

Despite also not being made of girders,

They did act as a weird sort of tonic or spur.

*

But even here, on the last leg

of our trip,

we could have

taken a wrong turn.

*

“But this is the road that passes Long Meg.”

*

“Shall we?”

*

“It would be rude not to!”…
