Forgive – and forget?
[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] We cannot ask God to forgive, count us good, if we will not pardon those whom we should. When choosing to...

Impulsive Anger and Escalation
How easily I get irritated and snap instead of chat. How easily nations squabble and angry thrust becomes a tit-for-tat. “Blessed are the peacemakers...

Swallow pride, ask Dad, listen…
I was a teenager, age about 15. I’d learnt to float happily when we regularly visited the beautiful quiet cove at Cwm-yr-eglwys in north Pembrokeshire. But I couldn’t swim. My father tried to teach me, but I think I was too stubborn to listen properly … But now I wanted to go to a youth camp back in Wales with a friend, on Bala lake …

Posted on Wed, 31 Jan 2024
That's a perceptive comment, and I guess it is why I love being drawn to notice these things that still are there to be seen, as you say honed down to the basic shape of the branches, tree trunks etc, and as the plant covering is less and weak,...

This story must take a lot of working out, to write each stage carefully, not rushed, patiently working forward at right pace. Rhiannon

That sounds a wonderful exploration of the market: sounds, smells and sight, and conversations. The photos on flicker are amazing and very clear. Rhiannon

A full American breakfast!
Posted on Sun, 28 Jan 2024
A full American breakfast! Though I think my family have it as a treat often on Saturdays! I can't see them 'roughing it' and fishing for their food yet, but it sounds as if you've got interesting clues fixed up. You spoke about Dad's boots. Have...

Posted on Sun, 21 Jan 2024
I'm sorry, i missed noticing this last week. You are keeping up the intriguing mix of the ordinary and quirky fantasy (smelly sneakers and Dad's long-ago fantasy adventure) I was amused by the comment of the 'dog' having 'to accommodate her...

Posted on Fri, 26 Jan 2024
Of course it's sometimes easy to just say, 'Oh, I don't remember', and carry on before it gets anyone worried! Once in a film, someone gave the name of something in Welsh, and what it actually meant was 'whatdyoucallit'! When I was growing up,...

Much there of the time of year, especially on brighter days. We've just been out in the countryside with the late afternoon shadows and glinting sunshine (which may form into a poem soon!)
The stars of the clear night well protrayed too....

Posted on Thu, 25 Jan 2024
I think your writing was more visual than the photo, with the moon through and on the trees, and the wind howling through!
Particularly liked the last 3 lines (though, now unseen, its 'caressing' work will continue!) Wasn't sure of the...

thanks.Yes! it's no wonder Rev Awdry and others have put faces on them is it? My father's first car was called Canta because, he said, 'Canta Ford it'! There is a Welsh rhyme for children about 'Morus y gwynt' (Morris the wind) so my friend's...
