Parcel for You - Part 48

This is one of my worst
Posted on Tue, 04 Mar 2025
This is one of my worst nightmares. Everyone always says, they won't hurt you..You've managed to capture the banality of extreme misfortune, a macabre event in a beautiful pastoral setting. There's no negotiating with those beasts.

This is very stirring, like a peice of music. I felt almost dizzy reading the words and thinking of those gigantic planets and the associated elements. Wordless companion, you bring them alive beyond the science of dry facts.

Marmite on toast isn't for me
Posted on Sat, 01 Mar 2025
Marmite on toast isn't for me, Rhiannon but I might try a nip in a soup or stew, that's a good idea. I wish I did like it on bread because it's a very useful product. Recently I've got a thing for Horlicks and that seems to divide people too,...

You don't forget these
Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2025

He lived and breathed his profession and those in the know could tell from the off. I was worried about him sitting there squashed into his seat, I hope he got the job. Every town needs good bakers.

That sounds wonderful, Jenny.

That sounds wonderful, Jenny. Reading poetry under shady trees in beautiful Canterbury. Memories of peaceful times, friendships and opportunities. Snapshots in time cherished forever.

Alive n 25, Kris that is a good place to be and keeping fit too. That was some achievement keeping that going and with well-crafted lyrics and tempo that plays in your head as you read. Very well done. It would be great to hear you perform it....

A beautiful tribute to these
Posted on Wed, 29 Jan 2025
A beautiful tribute to these darling little flowers. I am currently planting little colonies of them in my garden. I don't think I can put into words how much I love snowdrops but you've done a lovely job here, Rhiannon.
