The Book Bag: Through Salt-Heavy Seas by Andrew Williamson Welcome back to The Book Bag. I hope you’ve had a poetic week. This week has been a fairly quiet one with the bleary, grey weather. I did manage to get across to our allotment and look at the current progress of garlic and shallots, parsley and onions. They seem to be doing well despite the constant rain. At home we sowed some sweetpeas to start them off for spring. Also we harvested the last of the sprouts and used them to make a delicious slaw. I’ve been able to write, do some editing, I launched this month’s Poetic Voice, the excellent Paul Connolly. http://paulwritespoems.com/2026/02/08/the-book-bag-through-salt-heavy-seas-by-andrew-williamson/
