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...

Parables of Clippety (15) - The Overworld
There was a tense silence with both women wondering why the receptionist looked so concerned. A very short man with a hooked nose walked over very...

Parables of Clippety (14) - The Bends
Marni locked her lips on him. First of all she sucked on his flesh, as hard as possible as if giving a love bite, then slowly she sunk her teeth in,...

Blimey, I don't know whether to feel scared or embrace the weirdness and re-evaluate my working arrangements.

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022
What a rich landscape to explore. I got the sense of cold and damp combined with so much winter life and texture. The Black mountains above and the fallen tree 'bark - deep gingery-brown'. Your detailed descriptions create such a realistic image ...

Posted on Sun, 16 Jan 2022
I really enjoyed this little bit of escapism and Mr Lee's journey back through the years accompanied by the hustle and bustle of life around the cafe. I love it when older people make the effort to dress smartly each day. And now I want to read...

Hi Insert, thanks for the cherries and your comment. I was really excited about this week's IP but when I went back through my phone, this was the third photo back and I so disappointed because I thought, what on earth is that? I didn't know so I...

Posted on Tue, 18 Jan 2022
A wonderful tribute to a wonderful place Jenni. I enjoyed shivering limbs and the idea of ghosts (I'm sure there are many) a haven for wildlife. You've captured the spirit of the broadleaved forest in winter and the generosity of our ancient...

Posted on Sat, 15 Jan 2022
Context - I love it but it just makes it all the more absurd. I too, don't earn much above the minimum wage, worked through almost all of the pandemic, dealing with the public, who were mostly angry and didn't social distance. I keep seeing...

'Until you no longer remember
Posted on Sat, 08 Jan 2022
'Until you no longer remember me in your prayers', A long extinguished flame can suddenly re-ignite without warning but an unkissed state is one of both sadness and peace. I love the flow and movement. When something is so far out of reach you...

That is a lovely story. I bet he's sharp, his face is beautiful, he looks slightly whippety in the face. One of my whippets is almost 14 years, we've had him since he was 7 weeks old. I loved all the details around the beginnings of Skye's life...

Posted on Mon, 10 Jan 2022
There is lots of texture in this; the smooth dark seals, bright sunshine, mingling with the movement of the sea. There's something friendly and almost human about seals when they're above the water but they become athletic, predatory creatures in...

Posted on Wed, 05 Jan 2022
Reading this poem left me feeling relaxed. I haven't been to Glastonbury Tor but now I will be making a trip down there. There's so much on offer in the UK to connect us with our ancient ancestors. I like to go to Stonehenge when my birthday...
