This is a wonderful journey, Helen. ‘She moves through the fair’ had a similarly magical effect on my early understanding. Thank you.

“ Why on earth would you want to write about Knottingley and Ferrybridge?” That often fuels my Paper Mate. Thank you Helen.

This was so lovely - an honest, funny and thought provoking that reminded me of many past experiences and of the struggles women have gone through and are still going through. Thanks - I will look up Helen's poetry.
