My sincere thanks to David Lyons, Maureen Higson and Rosie,

friends via allpoetry.com for their invaluable assistance in my thought processes

which led to the production of this book

‘Being too close to the trees ....’ and ‘another pair of eyes ....’

are sayings of some truth exemplified by my friends.

For my great friend of many years, now of late,

the one and only Ted Mallon

whose example and character I have made good use of albeit in fiction.

Thanks Mucker

 To my wife Hazel for her patience
