Love this, so unique. In the end there is always a new way to create but I can't help thinking of that ear, all half-pecked and covered in dirt.

Thank you so much L for reading and commenting. I had to go back (far back) in time to find this voice and remember how much I wanted to resist everything than comes with becoming a woman. It didn't help having male relatives who were...

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...
