how you describe your mother
Posted on Thu, 05 Jul 2018
how you describe your mother cooking is beautiful. All the riches of living colour transmuted into taste. Like Renaissance art was a light bulb and cooking for you was the sun where she spread her wings. And the expression of your grief coming...

Very interesting to read his story. I only really knew of him from hearing an interview about how by the time they let working class people into Oxford it was so dummed down there was no point going there, and that the elites never accepted him...

You are quite right Tom, it's just a collection of nature scenes. It's just that I realised that someone from centuries ago could have seen them, too. And while I think of the wood as a beautiful place to go and see the sun and hear the birds....

Posted on Mon, 01 Oct 2018
I'm not sure? It's the mark of a good short story to reach a conclusion but leave the reader wanting to know what happens next :0)

Thankyou for posting this! I think it's brave to be so open about everything. I'm glad the diagnosis has helped. One of the children I worked with, his Dad refused to let him be diagnosed so he didn't get all the help he could have. I'm not sure...
