Daisy and The Chalet Woman (Part One)

I am really struggling with this one. I've got two thirds of the way through and I now have about three endings, all entirely different, and I can't decide. I don't even know what genre to put it in. Depends on the ending...

Cow blowing...as is often the case, Jean, your pieces grab my interest and send me off to Google to do more research. Honestly, with cow blowing, I wish I hadn't. Poor cow! (To coin a phrase.)

Fascinating insight into the 'ladies' helping...

My daughter, who has epilepsy

Lovely poem, Paul.

A wonderful moment, Paul, and now it isn't unshared, because you've really brought it alive to us here. And, as ever, a great audio to accompany it.

It's lovely the way you make these people come alive, and explain the complexities of their life. As Jenny said, I am really interested to see where Maria will go, and what life has in store for her now.

Posted on Thu, 10 Feb 2022

I love the homage to Lovecraft, and indeed Poe. And once again you have taken us to Glastonbury Tor and delivered all the atmosphere there. Like Jenny, I wanted more! You say it's a draft - have you got any plans for developing it further? I was...

Oh my goodness, this was one of my favourite fairy tales when I was younger, and you don't often hear about it now. As ever, you have crafted it into something totally original, while retaining the feel and mood of the original. And what a...
