Poetry with Friends….ooh what lovely cake Sue

We have some lovely people in our group, none lovelier than Sue, who occasionally makes lovey cakes and treats us as willing Guinea pigs. Tonight, David, just finished on some dental treatment shared the wit of Pam Ayres in the form of ‘I wish I’d looked after me teeth’, while Roland and Linda shared their own works. Never a dull moment.
