Overview

Take a poignant step back to an era almost lost to the mists of time.  Towards Sunset invites the reader to explore an ancient farmhouse in West Wales, experiencing the simple pleasures, the traditions, the workings of a bygone age. The poems included within are beautifully curated to complement the tour, bringing the past into the present as the reader wanders from room to room.  This book is a delight for the senses. Feel the comfort of a crackling open fire as Christmas preparations are in full swing; hear the joyful song of birds in springtime; see the merry dance of bright yellow sunflowers during the dog days of summer; taste the birthday delight of a traditionally cooked pancake; smell the captivating scent of geraniums lovingly placed on a windowsill.
