Elisabeth has been my friend for over 40 years. We met as young Mums and now we are grandmothers. She has the strongest social conscience of anybody I know, and is up there with Kezzie when it comes to both cycling and recycling. She sent me this, by the Puerto Rican poet Aurora Levins Morales. A good reminder that some of us may be retired, and unlikely to be around in a few decades time. But we have a responsibility to future generations.
Lovely thoughts expressed in that poem.
