Sorry to invade your peaceful

Posted on Tue, 19 Aug 2025

Sorry to invade your peaceful morning with such reminders of the world's horrors and atocities, and in particular with the mention of the money grabbing modern airport outside Manchester. I suppose it is still one route out of our modern British...

Yes that is a nice poem, great description! I haven't checked at this stage, but I am thinking I have seen this one before from you, on abctales? If so it is a good time to remind us!

Posted on Wed, 23 Jul 2025

The plot keeps thickening, and widening! I am enjoying the read. Grandmother Polly seems quite normal and wise, and we found out a lot more about the family and the place, and those mysterious disappearances. Now in Part 4 we are finding out...

I have enjoyed reading both

Posted on Tue, 01 Jul 2025

I have enjoyed reading both of these chapters. The atmosphere in the first one is very tense and meaningful, with very strong descriptions. Part 2 is very much more normal life, but it seems to be building as we see Billy heading to Somerset with...

Posted on Fri, 04 Jul 2025

I am glad you had a great holiday, and of course the Maltese Cross is not at all the same as the swastica, which of course became unpopular because it became the Nazi symbol. An honest mistake.

You  have reminded me of a couple of holidays...

A very fitting poem for the awful situation, which has already gone on for longer than anyone imagined, and is only getting worse and worse. How can it have come to this? And why is there no solution?!

I don't think I would be too

Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025

I don't think I would be too keen to go now either! All that standing up is too much! But its great to hear and see great music performed. Actually, because I had seen some reports of crowds, I was thinking it happened last weekend, but actually...

It must have been meant to be! But you are right, it was a slim chance really and turned out to be good for both of you. Just think of the good conversations we must miss every day!

Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025

I enjoyed your poem about the Glastonbury festival. Have you actually been to it this year? or have you been watching on TV or You Tube?

Sometimes it just seems right

Posted on Tue, 24 Jun 2025
