Posted on Wed, 29 Dec 2021
I have suspended my Christmas chill-out to read this contemplative and sad poem! (briefly!) But you do have the feelings of the graveyard here perfectly. We must try to remember our dead as we would hope to be remembered ourselves. It occurs to...

Posted on Fri, 10 Dec 2021
This reminds me of holidays I have been on, and observations to be made on them. It is very funny, and familiar too. I like the way you observe the characters, all from their particular regions or backgrounds, and then realise that some of them...

This really is a great explanation and summary of what is taking place in people smuggling, and in desperate migration, and it happens not only in the English Channel but in various places around the world. As an appreciation of what so many must...

Interesting and evocative snapshot of life in Bulgaria. It sounds like it has plenty of character, and perhaps more variety or surprises than places that have been capitalist or western for longer?

I enjoyed the story and have now finished it. I am glad to see that justice was served! I feel it would make a great film, as you have supplied much of the visual description, which could be translated into a great moody film. As you say it was...
