This Cannot Be Our Home
We are not earthly, we cannot thrive here without all our rags and shoes, dry shelters, heated, cooled. We all need padded cells. There is so much...

Anemone, what a beautiful name for a fairy. I can just picture the twins, Alvar and Almalric playfighting and flying around the forest. I must say, I really envy their lifesyle, especially at the moment.

Posted on Sun, 27 Mar 2022
I love this. The picture you've painted is beautiful and pure escapism. Yes I do believe. I was once lucky enough to see a tiny tiny man, not a fairy, well not winged anyway. I was a small child but I know what I saw. I've written about it on...

This is sweet and sour. I enjoyed the descriptions of Cornwall here, so well done, especially the Hottentot Fig, once you learn that plant name, you never forget it. The energy and fearlessness of youth quickly expires but it sounds like your...

Wow, this is really sweet and touching. The lady in the photograph looks so happy. Music can be a medium for time travel. She must have so many wonderful memories.

Thanks for the cherries Insert. Unfortunately, the dust went everywhere, into orrfices, penetrating mucous membranes and causing a distortion of the status quo.

Posted on Mon, 21 Feb 2022
You've captured the violence of a storm, the cleansing effect and resulting sense of something changed, a new beginning, a metaphor for so much. I love 'winds whipping spume' and the solitary egret - creepy how they take off and silently fly.
