He continued with his walk, through a small patch of beech woods with his head down and his hands in the pockets of his itchy tweed coat. It was mid...

Loved reading about their relationship with each other and the give and take between them. Cats generally seem to live great lives, doing what they want at the top of whatever food chain it is that they inhabit. Little Grayson sounds so sweet. I'...
Hi Di, thanks for reading and commenting. It's funny about the ancestral genes isn't it, kind of the genetic lottery. Swanning around in long skinnies, oh to be young again (but without all the associated anxiety).
Very true words Rhiannon, eloquently written with the rhythm of the heart. A sentiment which we need to remind ourselves of, perhaps now more than ever.

The man who tripped over his dog, the stale sandwiches and the, 'hardly any of this lot...' woman (I pictured Bett Lynch) and I felt all my blood turning grey as I read this. How can the utterly pointless prick you so hard? Emotional and...
Ha, ha, I can just see him in that curry house. I used to quite like him but it got boring. I don't think he's quite as angry as Jordan Peterson though.
A baptism of Biryani? Darwinian Dhansak must be his favourite.
This is my current dog walking captured beautifully. Everything is so thoroughly dripping, squelchy. 'Seep into musty earth'. Your words remind me that these sights and sounds are indeed nourishing, I'm inclined to moan about what feels like ...

A beautiful, carefully crafted description of the forest and then a jarring twist which sent chills down my spine.
I've seen this first hand, a friend's large dog caught a deer and sank its jaws into the poor animal's rump. I'll never...
