Tales by the Fireside - Bedtime stories and sleep meditation
Poetry by the Fireside - The Love Hundred
Season 1, Ep. 56
•
A story about churches, and nature. A story about grief and beauty and hope. A story utterly suffused with emotion. A story about cultivation.
Proudly presenting “The Love Hundred” by Neil Willis. The talented poet returns to Tales by the Fireside to share a very personal piece with us. Follow him on Facebook at NWPoetry and show him some support. Thank you for letting me read this out Neil.
P.S. a “hundred” in this context, is a piece of land, cultivated for growing and agriculture.
