Wishing you all a very happy #NationalPoetryDay! I’ve been so lucky to be a part of it this year, so please join me in celebrating Shropshire with elephants!
Some months ago, I was asked to be BBC Local Poet for Shropshire for National Poetry Day 2019, and on BBC Radio Shropshire we put out a call for #HomeTruths stories about the county. And along came all the elephants, strolling down Shropshire lanes, all the way from Dawley to Bishop’s Castle…

Special thanks to all at National Poetry Day, BBC Shropshire and John Bray, who made the film.
This is wonderful! And congratulations and well done and more words like that.
A lovely idea, and I can almost feel the cold..LIZ
Refreshingly entertaining at the close of a strenuous year.Good one.Cheers,
