As every, you perfectly weave landscape and past together, and bring both alive. Like Penny, I thought your last line was brilliant. Congratulations on the very well-deserved golden cherries.

I wonder if a mediocre moon

Posted on Mon, 16 Sep 2024

I wonder if a mediocre moon is also a dressing-gown moon? It gets up and thinks, no, not tonight, really can't be bothered, I'm just going to sit in my dressing-gown and eat my own crackers. Let them say what they like.

This is really interesting, Harry, and a really valuable resource. The myths can be so destructive. My daughter has epilepsy and the things people believe about that can still astound me.

As insert says, well done on giving the workshops...

This is lovely, Rhiannon. I love looking at the clouds and seeing landscapes and castles and all sorts of animals. Unfortunately my desk is by the window so it's a real distraction when I'm meant to be working!
