I'm so sorry! That sounds a terrible experience! I remember something you wrote a while ago, about a scary episode out with your partner in your car. You are both so lucky he is a calm, controlled driver. I'm glad you were able to find your inner...

hm, if it's an old house, will have chimneys? Might be a swivel eyed pigeon sitting on the roof :0) Enjoyed your story very much, and hope your "new" garden is the one described here!

I sympathise about cold, old houses! I am trying to get my act together about moving to a less damp, dark, modern one :0) Wondering if I would miss the gravity of walls half a metre thick. Terrific ominous feeling in this poem, of fear and...
