Elsie Blackburn nee Elsie Louise De Negri
After our session at Thames Lodge, Elsie casually mentioned that she wrote poetry. Abimaro and I dropped round for a cuppa and were astonished - she produced in the region of 25 volumes of self-published poetry, a life's work observing people and places.
Elsie began writing poetry when she was diagnosed with diabetes. With the support of he husband she gave up working and followed her passion, penning hundreds of poems over the past 65 years.
