I loved this Jane ! It had an air of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I thought. And for all we know, maybe this is what happens. I'm so pleased he kept Floppy's ashes, they were far more important than the watch.

There's always going to be suffering, with diseases and droughts and earthquakes and other natural disasters.
But so much suffering is completely unnecessary, that's what makes my blood boil. This current war of choice is an obvious...

Posted on Mon, 30 Mar 2026
I've read quite a few of the Rougon-Macquart series, although not all 20 ! My favourites are Germinal and Au Bonheur des Dames (which the BBC tv series The Paradise was based on).

Well personally I'm very fond of films and books which don't tie it all up in a neat bow at the end. Leaving the readers to make their own deductions - they'd have to be better at it than Tubby Milton can manage.
I loved this...

Posted on Wed, 25 Feb 2026
Like Turlough, you have the gift of bringing the mundane to life and making it fascinating, Harry. And funny. And sad. And, in this case, just a bit spooky too. Good writers can make great stories out of apparently very little material, and...

Hi Jane
This is very intriguing ! Looking forward to what is going to happen to them next.
I think there are a few places where it says 'sight' when it should say 'site' ? As in 'go around the edge of the sight only'. I think...

Jay, you remind us of the days, before food processors and bread making machines, that we touched the food we were making, and put physical effort into it. I love to grow my own vegetables, even though they are so cheap in the supermarket, but...

Like Harry I really look forward to your Bulgarian blog too. Am a little worried about Ludo not getting a mention. I know he must be on about number twelve of his nine lives, so I hope he's ok.
