Thank you.<br /><br />On a tangent, but I was reminded by the lines 'This afternoon we walk past / the tree we planted over your ashes', I still have the kowhai tree I got as a seedling at your book launch about 5 or 6 years ago. It has grown much taller, despite still being in a pot (a much larger one now), but is quite a shrub. I confess to sometimes naming my plants, and have always thought of that kowhai as Harvey.Helen Rickerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652318704387476082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566640137599801263.post-33315966737142148222010-07-13T23:01:02.902+12:002010-07-13T23:01:02.902+12:00I love the confident chaffinch and the ghost of th...I love the confident chaffinch and the ghost of the swinging boy and how they talk to each other... or are each other... very movingMary McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482261103185786111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566640137599801263.post-11296845218872597872010-07-13T21:46:13.656+12:002010-07-13T21:46:13.656+12:00I came here via another blog (Homepaddock).
