Turn the season,
golden morn.
...

Seven Women Dancing

Seven women dancing:
Fourteen legs;

Cathedral

I could not
read the words,
...

putting on your finest face.

(Based on Saint Teresa of Avila's words)

Sending blinding rain in a North-East gale.
...

and proud to say
that Derby County
is in my DNA.
