Imagine being in love with everyone.
To see it, use this link http://quillandparchment.com/members/memberink.html with the top secret username Pink and password Heart. Yes, the initial capitals do seem to make a difference. My poem ‘Wasp in my glass’ is in there, which of course makes me that soupçon more interested.

Nip across and enjoy it now.
