We were delighted to receive this comment from Michael of North Shields who so appreciated Tabitha’s Poppy Day poem. Tabitha excelled in her writing this year and particularly embraced the poetry aspect of the WW1 topic. Congratulations Tabitha!

I just happened to stumble across Tabitha’s beautiful and moving poem while doing some research. I am both a veteran who has been at the ‘sharp end’ and an award winning copywriter — and I could not even begin to conceive of, let alone compose, anything so lovely. Please convey my respects to Tabitha. You have a creative genius on your hands. Warmest wishes: Michael Cameron (North Shields)
