I love the first line and from there all the fine details unfold, sparkling nature, reality and clever metaphors. Tiny hearts in feathers is all the promise of spring in a sentence. Very well done and one to return to.

Some interesting details in this. The mix of sadness and science fiction reminds me of some episodes of Dr Who, strangly I was getting Dr Who vibes in part one and in part two you actually mentioned it...
I can imagine getting used to a...

'emotions sparkle in this little birds eyes', I recognise that Jenny. Those little robins really do sparkle with intelligence and are so active, seemingly all year round. Ivy provides a great cover for insects and spiders whcih in turn feed our...

Interesting the relationship
Posted on Wed, 08 Mar 2023
Interesting the relationship women have with their breasts. I've never really understood why we have them, after all, they don't need to be big to feed a baby. Good luck with your surgery, wishing you all the best for a smooth recovery.

Roses and bees are very apt for International Women's Day. This is very beautiful, Jenny. Through a window there is so much to see and some sights are unchanging whether you are old or young. Once thing is for sure, there is always housework.

I found this story, gripping, thoroughly absorbing and gut-wrenching. There is so much magic in a garden, especially after dark. I love the analogy of the terrarium and the drama of sudden bereavement tempered by the domesticity of turnips.

Thanks for taking us on this journey Rhiannon. I can just imagine the bright shiny sky and fresh air. I drank from Evandine spring last time I was there, the tasted so pure, despite being 'unsuitable for drinking'. Such a beautiful place. I love...

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).
