At Richmond Hill terraced gardens in Surrey there is a statue in a round pool of Aphrodite, locally known as Bulbous Betty.
Bulbous Betty
Kitchen porter, Richmond Hill,
I've come up in the world
since I came down from Beverley
Sleeping in an alcove under the stars
lying next to Aphrodite, Bulbous Betty
goddess of love and beauty.
SINCE 1952 AND WHAT A 'STIR' SHE CAUSED AT THE TIME. ISN'T IT REMARKABLE HOW TIME BRINGS ON CHANGES...BOTH IN APPEARANCE(SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE NEEDS A GOOD CLEANING) AND ACCEPTANCE? THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
