Those poor mothers, they will
Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2022
Those poor mothers, they will be feeling so guilty! I did not understand from the article if the children were still to be put in care? It sounded like the police were unsure what to do, to stay on the right side of the law. What a horrific thing...

It begins with the quiet

It begins with the quiet
of an owl's wing, mist muffled,
of river breath hushed

I cannot imagine how
Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021

Was totally involved, you have great details, like the bathwater washing over the edge, and the kitchen chair scraping, Bruce going round and round before curling up. It was very moving to read, particularly when he was in the bath. And the end/...

Enjoyed this very much! Is the birthday of the narrator significant? All the details are brilliant, particularly the bit about intern for Markle :0) I wonder whether in a populist system Elgar would be played over loud speaker? Maybe latest...
