I tried for ages before
Posted on Sat, 04 May 2019
I tried for ages before reading, to guess what the title was about but failed utterly, it's brilliant! And how "crumbs" could be both an expression of annoyance and, literally crumbs. And how you show the real time concentration with "care..."...

you communicate the cold so
Posted on Fri, 03 May 2019
you communicate the cold so well with this, I was reaching for my cardigan at the end! And the hopelessness of it, too. This terrible journey was only leading to the front line, yet they did not lie down and die there, but carried on, such...

monkey puzzles are like
Posted on Tue, 23 Apr 2019
monkey puzzles are like octopuses, had never realised, but you are right! And your "comfortable, spongy turf" I know grass like that too, it's beautiful :0) Did your grass have tiny yellow flowers in? i like how you make the skylark song...

you write of a friendlier
Posted on Thu, 18 Apr 2019
you write of a friendlier time. So much changed when supermarkets opened. I guess when supermarkets are all self service or home delivery today's children will remember the weekly shop there as a loss too, one more chance for human contact gone....
