Great poem Graham and being very well received in Twitter land and in the press I believe. 

I particularly like the 'fair winds' stanza at the end of the poem -  a translation of Buenos Aires of course - which can also mean "fresh air'.

The 'fair winds of the Spirit' indeed blowing from the South.
