Hello Rhiannon.

I've sometimes been told by those who knew my Grandad better that even if I had asked the questions I probably wouldn't have got answers. Apparently he would never talk about his time in France during World War One. He went...

Childhood memories are precious and I love it when snippets of...

Excellent words that could be describing the sad plight of any of hundreds of small towns in the North of England or the former industrial bits of Britain.

Posted on Sun, 31 Oct 2021

I re-read parts one and two immediately before reading this, part three, and found the story in its entirety quite gripping.
