I really enjoyed reading this
Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018
I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

What a descriptive snap shot
Posted on Tue, 07 May 2019
What a descriptive snap shot of the sea and its natural surroundings. I love the way you've included sound in this, the gentle booming, also the scent - of seaweed and of course the coastal flowers so beautiful at this time of year.

I really enjoy these nature

There is so much to this
Posted on Thu, 04 Jul 2019
There is so much to this Rhiannon. I feel as if I've been on a micro holiday after reading the descriptions of all the sights and sounds and all those place names which are so textured they always seem to me to have the same strong and soft...

It truly is amazing isn't it
Posted on Tue, 18 Jun 2019
It truly is amazing isn't it Rhiannon. The butterfly life cycle and all those eels toing and froing to the Sargasso sea back to the Thames, the mind boggles. 'Some things beyond comprehension lie' for sure and the more we find out the more...
