Whatever the weather, we don hats, scarves and boots to venture outside. The point is to crunch over snow, stamp through puddles or just to breathe the different air – all while sharing time with loved ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn these twelve poems – the winners in our seasonal competition – we experience everything from a holly-gathering expedition in a country lane, to a beach in Australia where “the sand is white as snow”. Over and again comes the idea that a walk can be a pilgrimage, sparking memories and a sense of the abiding presence of the past:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I once walked up the lane with my children\u003cbr\u003eby moonlit snow, power lines down – in the deepest dark\u003cbr\u003ethey had ever known; we made a small hand-held line…”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efrom ‘A low owl at Christmas’ by Valerie Bence\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoems by Bill Adair, Valerie Bence, Jane Burn, Martyn Crucefix, Kerry Darbishire, Marie-Louise Eyres, Annie Kissack, Aoife Mannix, Charlotte Oliver, Penny Sharman, Giles Watson and Miriam Wei Wei Lo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCover illustration by Jenny Hancock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall books\/pamphlets that are part of the popular Candlestick Press range. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57636032119164,"sku":null,"price":6.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8930\/2764\/files\/CW-01-P1.jpg?v=1791711836","url":"https:\/\/bookbubble.co.uk\/products\/christmas-walk-twelve-poems-for-rosy-cheeks","provider":"Book Bubble\/Old School Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
