I enjoyed this, as always. I read it before I went away on holiday last week. You have managed to keep very up to date with the parliamentary and cabinet pantomimes which are currently occurring, and manage to make Brexit sound positively...

I enjoyed this. You have created a meaningful story of life passing by in stages, and reaching its natural conclusion! It is easy to read, which is good, leading the reader to the final twist. It has a magical quality, which makes it very...

I like the way you have contrasted the Queen's 70 years of kind, understanding and supportive service to Putin's despotic carelessness for human life. At this moment in history that is a very important and stark contrast, between humane service...

I enjoyed your poem relating the old story nicely! It is a great story, which can be used as a moral tale, and as a speculation about what could have happened to the children! I seem to remember reading that quite a few German cities/towns claim...
