On Hughes....I like his poetry, but I know very little about him as a person. He isn't my favourite, but I enjoyed studying his work at college. Thing is....I hadn't recalled Stubbing Wharf .... I was unaware of the connection lol. That adds a particular piquancy to their open-mike poetry nights.

[eta] I have mentioned Hebden before, you may have missed the reference. Hebden Bridge has an unusually large gay population and is known particularly as a place that attracts lesbians. The slang in this part of Yorkshire for trying out lesbianism is "taking a bus to Hebden".

I go there by train.

Yes, I knew it had a certain "reputation" and there is the whole Sappho thing, but, hell----it's a poetry mecca to me! Please, yes, I'd LOVE some pictures! LOVE IT!

Thanks!
