For children there are few

Posted on Mon, 21 Aug 2023

For children there are few places more mysterious and exciting than a wood. Every tree and every small clearing is a source of intrigue and adventure. And every noise is that of a wild beast coming to eat us up until we see that it's only a...

Your ability to make

Posted on Sun, 20 Aug 2023

Your ability to make Birmingham sound like such a beautiful place emphasises your skill as a wordsmith. I'm tempted to book a holiday there.

The raising of Madam Medusa's head gave me the shivers a bit but put a timestamp on your writing....

I had to go and Google this

Posted on Fri, 18 Aug 2023

I had to go and Google this but it’s beautiful music. The sombre sound from the ‘cello is perfect for being murdered to.

Succinctly, you’ve described the incident very well, creating an atmosphere of a surreal crime scene that I could...

Telling folks that you were

Posted on Thu, 17 Aug 2023

Telling folks that you were in a drinking game with a room full of soft toys is a great way to explain away a hangover. I might try that one myself.

I like the Benny Hill Show reference too. When you made your dash for it were you being...

Nice words Rhiannon.

Nice words Rhiannon.

Oh for a drop of drizzle here now. We had a huge thunderstorm with torrential rain a couple of nights ago but by mid morning the next day the ground was back to its usual concrete state.

You know a flower has made an impact on your life when you name it yourself.

Your words really do give the feeling that you're talking to a friend. A lovely poem.

Britain's astronomically

Posted on Sat, 12 Aug 2023

Britain's astronomically expensive in comparison to much of Europe. Scandinavian countries are probably the exception. I always dread having to go back to England because of the cost. If it wasn't for my kids and grandkids over there I never...

In Bulgaria our state health

Posted on Sat, 12 Aug 2023

In Bulgaria our state health service makes no provision for dentistry but from my experience our private dentists are extremely good and very cheap.

I like the way that the fence

Posted on Sat, 12 Aug 2023
