I just had to write and say how I felt about the poem Grief by Zoe Barnes (Sept 10). Sadly I lost my husband, Michael, on April 9, 2020, a year before Prince Philip died.

God bless the Queen. Zoe’s poem sums up exactly how I have been feeling. I shall treasure it for ever.

Ed: I’m so sorry for your loss, Shirley. I was also very moved by the poem and I shall pass your thoughts on to the author.

Could you please ask your readers to save all the sunflower seeds from their giant flowers this summer for the squirrels and birds to enjoy?
