I’m very grateful to Robbie Cheadle for hosting me on ‘Treasuring Poetry’, a platform where she interviews fellow poets and showcases their work. I’ve known Robbie for the last six years- since I began blogging and though we may not have met, I’m very proud that my painting hangs on a wall in her beautiful home in S.Africa.

To find out more about her, do check out her blog, Robbie’s Inspiration.
