Travelling over the next few days

Hi Everyone
Just wanted to let you know that later today, I will be travelling for a few days.  I am unsure if there will be internet access where I will be going. I will likely put up the daily poems before I head out. On Sunday May 4th my poems will be reappearing daily.

If there is internet access you will hear from me.

Best Wishes and Warmest Regards
Blair
