Whilst walking in the winter woods I sent a selfie to Yang Chi Sheng as I knew that he would soon be executed

My photo showed me in my pink anorak and hiking jeans as well as my Converse trainers which were totally impractical for my day

The trees behind me were bare but were showing signs of the seasons turn

In the distance there were snowdrops hidden in small white gatherings

They reminded me of the soft melting snow

My friend came back to me almost immediately with a poem that he planned to recite on the way to his execution
