They'd be scratching their heads, wondering why all the poets in Scotland were submitting poems about a house in St Andrews. <BR/><BR/>Someone else definitely mentioned the same idea over the weekend though!

Dunn really was good, I thought, his passion for poetry really coming through (what he said about Burns, and that opening image in your poem: it'd look good on the cover of your book!)<BR/><BR/>I ended up in Waterstones AGAIN after missing my bus and ended up buying Robert Frost's Collected. Tsk! oh, and I DID remember Mother's Day (if only just in the nick of time, passing through Dunfermline . . .)Terrible, I know.<BR/><BR/>Deemikay: aye, get yourself a ticket. Drink water! We'll need someone to stop the tellies crashing through the hotel windows.<BR/><BR/>Rachel: someone else mentioned getting a house though I can't remember who or where. Drinking water might be a good idea. That house, well, maybe not so good. Remember Van Gogh's dream of an artist's colony ended up with him losing an ear lobe.
