A bend in a subterranean smoke flue curves into the light at an historic lead mining site in the Yorkshire Dales. These tunnels were designed to carry the dangerous smoke away from the smelting process, the workers did not have a long life expectancy.

Below the mountain, hill or karst,
Frontier, labyrinth, dark and vast,
Pitches, squeezes, sumps and crawls,
Explored with heavy gear to haul.

Challenged twice, our body and mind,
In conquering both, ourselves we find.

I've produced four themed sets of greetings cards (4 cards per set). They are really nicely printed and I'm really quite proud of them. Great for celebrations or just telling your friend how much they mean to you. The written word is pretty special these days.
Message me if you would like some.
