"Thunder explodes

I agree with Di - staggered that you keep two stories going at the same time and manage to keep the quality so high. "A whiff of an awful smell..."  at the end there in a tale full of intrigue and magic. Keep going, Penny :)

"Surviving the drought and sun’s Balkan degrees

"...chocolatey face

and chocolatey feet.."

 

Liquid mud in abundance at the moment with all the rain.
