My stepfather’s loves rivers and birds.
My Aunt lived in Olney until her death in 2022. Interesting stuff, Ian
Oh I remember.
Hello - very nice and unexpected to see your interest in this! Richard Elwes was my grandfather, though he died before I was born. Copies of his First Poems are few and far between, but I also have a couple. Polly Elwes was his daughter (& my aunt).

How lovely to hear from you.
That makes that little book even more significant.
I am looking forward to reading the poems more deeply.
Thanks so much for saying hello.
Wasn’t there Polly Elwes who reported on the Tonight programme?
