Lustrum (IP) (With apologies to Robert Harris)

By airyfairy on Wed, 11 May 2016

The Net Caster (Part Twenty-Four)

I love that phrase, 'Worse

Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2025

I love that phrase, 'Worse things happen at sea' - it was my grandmother's response to pretty much any calamity, be it petty or catastrophic. I occasionally use it myself, and my kids look at me in complete bewilderment.

A very big welcome to ABC

Posted on Fri, 11 Apr 2025

A very big welcome to ABC Tales. You capture the utter bewilderment of grief, and those stages, which seem incomprehensible at the time, that we pass through. It is to be hoped that most people do reach whatever form of acceptance they need in...

A truly unsettling poem. Like

Posted on Tue, 04 Mar 2025

Marmite is a great and

Posted on Sat, 01 Mar 2025

Marmite is a great and wondrous thing. Sadly, I have failed to convey this indisputable fact to my children, one of whom hates the stuff while the other will tolerate it to be polite when visiting a marmite household. It is a necessary part of my...

Posted on Sat, 01 Mar 2025

I really enjoy writing to prompts, as you never know where they'll take you. I go to a creative writing group once a month where we do just this, and I particularly enjoy seeing the different ways people interpret the prompts. Similarly, the...
