Today's poem:

Ship
- by Carol Ann Duffy

In the end,
it was nothing more
than the toy boat of a boy
on the local park’s lake,
where I walked with you.

But I knelt down
to watch it arrive,
its white sail shy
with amber light,
the late sun
bronzing the wave
that lifted it up,

my ship coming in
with its cargo of joy.

Here's a #postcard showing the University of Nottingham - this is the main building, shown peeking out from behind the Highfields Boating Lake.

The university is set in a fabulous park. You can hire boats on the lake, and there's #minigolf too

#History

In Newquay in Cornwall in 1906, work began on Trenance Garden’s boating lake, it was created as an unemployment relief measure, and workers were given a pasty a day and a shillings a week to dig it out.

Just over thirty years earlier it was agricultural land and the ‘playground’ of my great great grandmother. It has changed a bit since then of course, but she would still recognise it. Her family home is still there, as is the viaduct that she watched being built. Even in my lifetime, it has not changed at all. It was an exciting place for me as a child and it still holds a special place in my heart today. We could leave my grandparent’s house, walk down the street, descend through a wooded hillside and emerge into a formal garden - how very fortunate I was.

I have visited the gardens nearly every year of my life and that is a long time!
