Artist Martin Waters is creating a drifting field of poppies through Holy Trinity Parish Church, Hull, during November Remembrance 2011. He wanted poems to support the installation. The Hub and I submitted. I heard nothing but the Hub’s poem was selected.
I’m thrilled for him.
No, really.
Honest.

The Proud Hub
The proud wife:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
SHOW ME THE WORLD!!

Grinning, just grinning.
Congrats for the hubs. And hugs for you Tilly
Thanks. I need them.
its moments like these when you have to choose between the martial arts and the marital arts

I think I’ll take the former
Well done Hub! Such a talented family you are
Be brave, Tillybud, you’re in 2 books
Thank you Speccy, that makes me feel better.
And it’s three! I’m in a limerick book as well
Congratulations to Tilly’s hubby! Talent runs in your family.
As my Dad would say: noses run in my family
That’s a poem each this week! Well done Hub!
Where’s the poem??
In the bin. I haven’t mentioned that to the Hub.
That’s what I wanted to know. Félicitations, Hub. Commiserations, Tilly
(politely asking, with glittery eye lashes) Post the Hubs poem, please…
If I must…
Well, you know he did it just to keep you humble. If your head got too big he wouldn’t be able to rub it anymore.
You found my silver lining! Thank you
Well done Mister Bud. (Tilly, put a laxative in his tea before he becomes insufferable …)
Done. He thinks it’s IBS
Well done Hub of Tilly, are we to be able to read the poem
Sorry, I appear to have gone a bit deaf.
Geez, what do your want. You are a Manchester poet for goodness sake. Did he will this accolade? I mean, the parish hall isn’t the only game in town is it? Besides, you can post your poem on your other blog and I will read it. Then I will mutter under my breath about how did you get so much creative talent?? You guys are forcing me to revise my mental sterotype of Machester football fans. Who knew??
You must have been thinking of United fans
My, what a nice big scowl you have, Ms Budd
You’re now a husband and wife poet team…it can’t get more creative than that…
The church looks quite stunning.
It does, doesn’t it? Pity it’s two hours away. We won’t see his poem in situ.
What I want to know is, did you eat the picture of yourself after you took it?
But seriously – congratulations to both of you for your publications – when do we get to see the poetry of Spud and Tory Boy?
More competition? I don’t think so!
Woot! Very cool H&W team, eh?
I think you mean W&H team
I expected the eyes to be Maltesers but I guess there are none left when you really need two. Well done to hubby, you can’t win them all Tilly Bud
Sigh. Ain’t it the truth?
Marvellous news, though I’m not telling Cycloman, just in case he gets ideas above his station. May we see your version too?
Pardon? What, sorry? Did you say something?
Congrats to the hub! Are we going to see his poem?
Cough, cough. Did somebody speak?
Congrats to the Hub
C’mon, out with it, Ms Bud
I just have to take this phone call then I’ll be back to answer your questions.
That much mayo must make all the wrinkles just disappear! Funny post and congrats to proud and hunky Hubby!
Thanks. I’ll be sure to (not) tell him
That Remembrance Day installation looks beautiful. Nice to see something a bit more creative and positive than the usual. Congrats to your hubby, you’re being much more gracious than I could be.
lol! I’m secretly thrilled for him, but don’t tell anyone I said that
I feel we need a ‘compare and contrast’ post – anyone agree with me?
I’ll lose…so no need to bother everyone, is there?
sigh!
Ah, a talented poetry driven family… Excellent and congrats to the hubs!
Thanks
