how deliciously unexpected
I love the obelisks (I think that's the spelling) and the shamanistic arrow
signs
and the reference to Desert Island Discs in stanza 2 (which may be lost on
non- Radio 4 listeners) contrasts well with the iconic special brew
I found S3 a bit less interesting. I like the idea of the footprint - very
Robinson Crusoe - but I wanted something fresher - and I've had the cheek to
add some initial thoughts which i hope you will have the sense to
discard....
