We love our Christmas tree. It’s always cuttings from my son’s evergreen hedge decorated with all our favourite bits and bobs that we have collected over the years
. A wooden soldier from ‘The Nutcracker’ ballet was always my mother’s favourite, a peg dolly Father Christmas that someone in the family made 20 years ago, a fairy that we bought in Paris, each item has some special significance.

Ann’s poetry covers the big topics of love and death with originality. Take for instance the title poem which is full of surprises yet also wonderfully poignant.
