For our last session of this colourful series we focused on pink and got in touch with our frivolous side. As a special treat we also had CAKE and my idea of heaven is probably a place where you get both poetry and cake eternally.
The poems we read were Bullfinches by Patricia Pogson and Flamingo Watching by Kay Ryan.
The writers also did a Show and Tell of pink objects brought from home which featured a giant bunny, a tiny faded lamb, and a beetroot cake supplied by the wonderfully creative Yvette who also made the quilt on display here for her little granddaughter. It was a bright and exciting morning.
I'd like to finish with a quotation from a blessing on the colour theme - it mentions a flock of colours and is very popular. For more by John O'Donohue see his website: http://www.johnodonohue.com

Celtic Blessing
by John O'Donohue
And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.
