Thanks to Mr Windsor Waitrose…

Some years ago, after Janet had sampled a few Bombay Sapphire gin tasters in the Windsor branch of Waitrose, her host – a rather dapper gentleman, in the true meaning of the word - said that she reminded him of Britain’s best selling poet Pam Ayres. Janet was slightly taken aback, still hoping at that time for a favourable comparison to Madonna, or other glamour girl. Pam Ayres is somewhat her senior. Seeing Janet’s slight surprise, her host stressed that he’d meant the comparison as a compliment. Now Janet thinks of him as one of the inspirations for her “Water Poems” (see below).
