Hello Di, there's tranquility
Posted on Thu, 12 Sep 2024
Hello Di, there's tranquility about walking the Ridgeway, it's so open and peaceful. I do love the copse of trees, because it's magical standing in amongst them. There's an amazing view the other side of the trees too, where you can see for miles...

I agree with insert Phil and couldn't have put it any better myself.

Posted on Thu, 05 Sep 2024
This poem reminds me of those days from the past when I used to work on the garden and get ready to collect the harvest of all the produce I'd grown from seed in the spring. I remember one year I grew corn, runner beans, tomatoes, lettuce,...

Poor Vanessa, that Steve was so cocky and made her feel uncomfortable, even Annie wasn't sure about him, no wonder Vanessa was glad to go home. I wonder if they'll meet up again! Spencer seemed keen. Look forward to finding out.

I can't believe I nearly missed this lovely poem Rhiannon. I love the hope that your words bring in the last stanza. I'm looking forward to the Autumn and Winter months though, it's nice to rest and prepare for Spring.
Very much enjoyed...

Your gift for keeping the tension going is excellent. I think Samantha should be a detective, she seems to understand the situation and listens to Jeanette.
Hope this story doesn't end too soon, I'm just loving it so much.

Dear Di,

Dear Di,
it's very uplifting knowing there are some friendly people I can talk to on abc tales, it can be very isolating feeling the way I do, not being able to get out and see people other than my partner and son. They are patient and...
