Posted on Thu, 07 Feb 2019
Enjoyed this so much! I think you must have keen eyes as well as such knowledge, there are layers and layers to what you see that I am unaware of. Waiting at a bus stop here, I saw a buzzard being mobbed by rooks, and often I hear them mewing...

I hope Shirley finds happiness in your book. At the moment she feels like someone searching up and down a corridor looking for a door that has been blocked off and papered over. I am very interested to see how you develop the characters who can...

"out of decay and wilting drabness, dearth" what a description of Winter!

Posted on Mon, 04 Feb 2019
Oh Jane! I wish I could have read this when I was 12-13. It reminded me so much of how I was. Know now it was OCD. Remember my Mum screaming at methat I should be locked up, the panic attacks when she'd storm in and kick and push things out of...

This is so funny, but also I love how you describe everyone, even a few lines makes me feel I'd know them. It's wonderful writing. Also reminded me of our attempts to get coloured telly, then years later, computer.

I know! He gave my son a long lecture but it went in one ear and out the other. Son is more sensible than me on roads, but still don't think I'd be ok with him having anything except a tank. An electric tank, though

I liked the description of Brooksy.
Motorbikes are scary. Before we lived together my partner rang me to say he was in the road after crashing his in the rain. His leg was never the same. The person who fixed our windows' hand wouldn't...

Posted on Mon, 21 Jan 2019
What a relief to read your post! I am always leaving the gas on. I can't smell very well either so often it's the cats jumping about lets me know something is wrong, and I find the kitchen is all smokey or I've melted something on the...

Posted on Fri, 18 Jan 2019
Richly deserved, it's BEAUTIFUL, could feel the sweet air and see the colours. Is so interesting how you combine time into it, not just the rhythm of poetry but of your day. They seem sort of like Richard Long sculptures only not so hard....
