An abundant poem Jenny.
Posted on Mon, 11 Mar 2024
An abundant poem Jenny. Nothing can hold nature back, especially at this time of year, the sense of expectancy is everywhere, bursting buds and busy birds. Very apt for mother's day weekend.

You create a very believable
Posted on Mon, 11 Mar 2024
You create a very believable character, the owls, the milky coffee and routines. I could have been Heather but I'm glad I'm not. A bit of chaos is like a safety blanket. I wonder what she's been up to?

How unsettling, an innocent
Posted on Fri, 08 Mar 2024
How unsettling, an innocent trip to the pub and so many question marks. 'just looking for a man', made me laugh. I really felt as if I was back in York while reading this, you captured the magic of the place, the anceint buildings, cosy but...

York is ghost heavy isn't it,
Posted on Wed, 06 Mar 2024
York is ghost heavy isn't it, you can almost feel them brush against you as you walk around the city. The cryptic message, can it really be from the blonde shopaholic wife? I think I've said this before but your writing has a real unmistakable...

Hi Penny, I've only read some of these chapters and have some catching up to do but I love your imagination, the character's names, the intriguing storylines and the lack of restrictions which hold the story within realms of magic.

Posted on Sun, 25 Feb 2024
This makes me want to return to Cornwall, Jenny, I haven't been back for years, since a very cold Easter with the children. I hadn't heard of this lady, Mary Kelynack. She sounds like an absolute legend. What a life! I bet she slept well at night...

An extremely entertaining
Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024
An extremely entertaining read Turlough and very funny in parts. What a character, from what you describe a cheerful, good spirited person despite his tendency to cadge what he wants rather than earn it through conventional means. Semi-ferel...

Magical. Those plants growing, 'in the wrong place', have no idea of their crime.

Sleeping in your car at this
Posted on Sat, 24 Feb 2024
Sleeping in your car at this time of year must be freezing and damp too. I used to give money to homeless but someone said it goes straight into the hands of criminal gangs so I stopped. If only the problem was improving. Our government can't/don...
