Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

Brabble: to argue stubbornly with another person often over trivial matters 

Lychnobite: a person who works at night and sleeps all day

Shirpings: the overgrown plants that grow at the side of a lake or river 

Gyles' poem this week was by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester.

‘God bless our good and gracious king

Whose promise none relies on;

He never said a foolish thing,

Nor ever did a wise one.’
