Modern, colloquial, has a tang of people's moral advice in it and most of all, nails council estate life and is refreshingly upfront.

Posted on Wed, 08 Jul 2015
I used to love Little Ted. It's really powerful, this, a real spare and poignant pinning down of neglect. Your windows - well, their windows - offer a place of hope, a sense of child normality and it taunts the child with what he has to face.

Such unusual touches to describing the scenes - cabbage leaf crinkles and cawing Lords. It's visually rewarding but full of sound, too. A charming piece.

Posted on Thu, 25 Jun 2015
'Allo allo. I'd cut 'indeed' and re-consider 'was totally wrong for the job.' Maybe 'wasn't cut out for the job?' The words stuck out in an otherwise sculpted piece. See what you think. Stick your tongue out if you disagree. Perhaps you could pin...

Tina, read this in dead of night and forgot to comment because bairn suddenly slept. It's lovely - traditional verse form, fresh summery images and imagined with vivid scenery and sadness at its close.

Posted on Mon, 15 Jun 2015
A self analytical piece shot through with shattering fact and an overt sense of perception. It encourages reader participation - contemplation. I believe that we're not meant to feel brave whilst we're being brave. We just crack on with intrepid...
