Posted on Tue, 21 Feb 2023
C S Lewis did include Dionysian Greek creatures in his Narnia books, such as Fauns, Centaurs, Dryads, Nymphs and Nyads. They seemed to make up quite a large proportion of the population of Narnia, and they were able to go into hiding during the...

Your writing will be a good way to remember this tragedy looking back in future years, and some of the personal tragedies you outline.

They should have labelled it
Posted on Sun, 19 Feb 2023
They should have labelled it more clearly. However Earl Grey is a pleasant variant from normal tea in my opinion! I am sure it has enabled me to write certain pieces I might not otherwise have written over the years.

Posted on Fri, 10 Feb 2023
An awful tragedy! I think we knew the final figures were going to be a lot higher given that they are just counting the bodies. When we see the pictures and hear the detailed stories it brings the cruelty of this disaster closer to us. The...

Nice poem! It certainly paints the scene. This come from a scene in a romantic film with Tom Hanks in it does it not? It rings a bell, but it is a while since I saw it. I like the idea of repainting a scene from a good film!

I did enjoy this 'miniature'
Posted on Thu, 29 Dec 2022
I did enjoy this 'miniature' satire of Brexit, but then it occurs to me that the Christmas economy may well dwarf the so called national economy in size. I once used to believe that the elves probably had it right, but nowadays we find that they...

Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
I enjoyed this realistic story. In this all too real Christmas Tale it seems too much damage has been done to the relationship, and Mick's late reversal of attitude seems to come too late to save his marriage! Not all Christmas tales can end well...
