Hi Di, thanks for reading and

Posted on Mon, 13 Feb 2023

Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's funny about the ancestral genes isn't it, kind of the genetic lottery. Swanning around in long skinnies, oh to be young again (but without all the associated anxiety).

Posted on Sun, 12 Feb 2023

Very true words Rhiannon, eloquently written with the rhythm of the heart. A sentiment which we need to remind ourselves of, perhaps now more than ever.

Posted on Sat, 04 Feb 2023

A beautiful, carefully crafted description of the forest and then a jarring twist which sent chills down my spine. 

I've seen this first hand, a friend's large dog caught a deer and sank its jaws into the poor animal's rump. I'll never...

Perfect for young children, just the right length and some repetition. Can you draw, Rhiannon? I honestly think you could publish this with illustrations.

Posted on Sat, 28 Jan 2023

I really enjoyed reading about your cats and your shopping too. Clarence sounds wonderful. I lost one of mine to the road last year, on the very last of the superhot days and it honestly broke my heart. I've still got her brother, when he's not...

Posted on Sun, 15 Jan 2023

Ha, ha, I can just see him in that curry house. I used to quite like him but it got boring. I don't think he's quite as angry as Jordan Peterson though.

A baptism of Biryani? Darwinian Dhansak must be his favourite.

This is my current dog walking captured beautifully. Everything is so thoroughly dripping, squelchy. 'Seep into musty earth'. Your words remind me that these sights and sounds are indeed nourishing, I'm inclined to moan about what feels like ...

'Dripping trees, soggy mulch,

Posted on Thu, 29 Dec 2022

'Dripping trees, soggy mulch, wan white sun' very evocative of my winter walk this morning. These dark mornings feel oppressive. The whirling whiteness across the Atlantic is frightening. I am grateful for some mild December temperatures.
