Jam
I couldn’t understand why I’d never discovered it before. Perhaps I had, once, years ago during my childhood but it had frightened me and I’d locked...

There's Still Enough Time
He looks so nice; an unfolded smile, harmless eyes. No thoughts at the front, only the manners, his mother wrapped up and gave him, when, as a boy,...

The Price of Gold
I was late because I fell into a hole. I was desperately searching for glimmers and someone was digging for gold. The hole and I both were open...

It's a beautiful trubute to a beautiful flower Ed. You could never get bored of such a powerful colour. There are some plants that never seem to give up, often the ones you don't fuss over. Never give up, a positive token from the terrace....

A perfect ghost story, really

A perfect ghost story, really enjoyed it. Stirring and charming in equal measure. So exciting exploring these places when you're a child although I get the impression it doesn't happen much these days.

Posted on Wed, 26 Jul 2023
I couldn't agree more with writing as a retreat and a way to harmonise, a release as in a cloud burst, only when you've got that flow though. We are so lucky to be able to express ourselves in words and understand each other albeit with many...

Thanks for reading Insert. I wonder if there was part of them that wanted Sandra to be eaten. On a serious note, there are a lot of dangerous dogs out there with irresponsible owners. A horror ending to the story could have been entertaining but...

A strong message, beautifully written.
It's the parents who have free childcare from grandparents who are the real winners. You only hope they repay the favour twice over. Brilliant POTD.

A wonderful tribute to our native and very vigorous growing blackberry. I have so many memories of picking and also finding a little white grub inside after biting the top off. The grubs just disappear in the jamming process. Good old-fashioned...

This is such a lovely story, Paul. It conveys the unease of imminent retirement and the need for something to cling to and the cat was the perfect thing. I love the leaf exchange and the tentative first steps of their relationship.

The complexity of your child
Posted on Wed, 31 May 2023
The complexity of your child going through the complex layers of the teenage years, everything coming together. It's a rollercoaster which lasts perhaps longer than the teens but if he has an outlet or two, music, the drums, then there is some ...
