My stories

J is for Jingle Bells and Jackdaws (another go at this)

bright sound from high, cold night of promise drawing near dusk; like roofs' slates took flight with joyous jew's harps' cheer
Cherry

I is for Icing and Ivy

concealing sweetness spreads white, on all made before lushly sheltering birds' first food in next year's store
Cherry

H is for Holly (for sale and for song)

Tied wild tamed by gold spray fussily ossified bright red in gloss green sway where feasting blackbirds ride
Cherry

G is for Glitter and Gorse

scattering sparkle specks outlast family trees bully wind's brash frolics fresh gold unfurlings tease
Cherry

F is for Fairy Lights and Frost

fossilised Life's dark fires strings of electric sweets skimming crystal empires as blue sky's bright heart beats

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2026

You are amazing at female characters - I know you said you are drawing on memory for Mrs Gaffletter, but how you describe her is BRILLIANT. And Calizone, she is fabulous, too! Mrs Gaffletter's sister and Maudline are also wonderful, but I love...

That must...

That must be one of my favourite photos of yours :0) Though you have another, where they are all in a line, which is fabulous, too - the expressions, it is so happy! This one, the composition is like a painting. Bruegel would be full of...
