They should have labelled it

They should have labelled it more clearly. However Earl Grey is a pleasant variant from normal tea in my opinion! I am sure it has enabled me to write certain pieces I might not otherwise have written over the years.

An awful tragedy! I think we knew the final figures were going to be a lot higher given that they are just counting the bodies. When we see the pictures and hear the detailed stories it brings the cruelty of this disaster closer to us. The...

Could this be the future? Can we construct a virtual or everlasting heaven? Great writing, characters remembering and re-experiencing life, and maybe going to heaven?

I do also think this is a great piece, very melancholic, and also very real. A very natural style, with humour and sadness!

Posted on Thu, 29 Dec 2022
I did enjoy this 'miniature' satire of Brexit, but then it occurs to me that the Christmas economy may well dwarf the so called national economy in size. I once used to believe that the elves probably had it right, but nowadays we find that they...

Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
I enjoyed this realistic story. In this all too real Christmas Tale it seems too much damage has been done to the relationship, and Mick's late reversal of attitude seems to come too late to save his marriage! Not all Christmas tales can end well...
