Parcel for you - Part 52
It was inevitable really wasn’t it, Vanessa thought as she logged off from work. She’d spent the afternoon in a haze of confusion, working through...

The Garden, that was my domain
The garden, that was my domain It’s where I framed my worst paintings Held my rival’s head beneath the soil Until his gist went limp And hid inside a...

I knew it was TK Maxx! I used to have the same habit, I won't call it an addiction, now it's Ebay. There are worse things..

Makes me realise how hard it
Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025
Makes me realise how hard it must have been to arrive somewhere on time in those days. Sticking to whatever arrangements you made by letter or during the last time you saw each other and not only visiting friends and relations but knowing their...

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025
Reading this, I can relate to the conflicted emotions in regard to people who are desperate but may also prey upon you, rob you etc. Not much has changed over the centuries, Jenny. How lucky Emily is to have a family and money to spend.

Posted on Tue, 20 May 2025
This is going to be very interesting Jenny. Pure escapism from another era. I really like the descriptions of the house and objects from the time. A wealthy family who also care about those who struggle with less. Emily, a young lady with her...

This is wonderful, Jenny.
Posted on Thu, 01 May 2025
This is wonderful, Jenny. Well deserved pick of the day and poem of the week! The idea of a crumbling folly drowning in foliage yet also supported by it and you've encapsulated the romance and free flowing nature of these period garden features...

Thank you so much, Paul.
Posted on Thu, 01 May 2025
Thank you so much, Paul. There is an etiquette to picking, and like many manual jobs it is undervalued and classified as unskilled work. Getting so close to so many tulips surprised me too, there was something sinister growing there with them, I'...

Posted on Fri, 25 Apr 2025
Ew gosh, Jenny, you've relayed the terror, the stark contrast between feeling fully relaxed, off guard, enjoying a sunny day of adventure with your friends to suddenly feeling under threat from a predator. It's a sickening feeling that...
