The ghost of Abraham Darby smelting iron with coke pours from the pores of your words Peter. :) I sense themes of reclaimation, restoration, renewal and regeneration in your words. I may be wrong but such is the power of great poetry that it encourages personal interpretations. I'll add that the government limiting permits and the lack of fish stocks shouldn't let coracle fishing die. I'm taking a break from The Soup for a while but am so glad I dropped in to read your latest. Cheers - Gary
