@ShirleyHughes_ Thank you………my daughters remember the poems and stories and now my year old scrumptious grandson Oliver loves them too. When reading to him he can fill in the missing words. His favourite is Fire ❤️🙏 177 views · 3 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Sea Singing is taken from Stories by Firelight; a story for older readers in which Shirley left clues for us to find out about Morag. This account is being retired from Monday. Please follow on instagram and Bluesky. https://t.co/KjbeHBFH6y
