I thoroughly enjoyed this, it

Posted on Tue, 30 May 2017

I thoroughly enjoyed this, it's so intimate but of course not sentimental. The part about your mum made me think a lot about myself, I must become more of a grown up! Well deserved story of the week.

I love this and so would Bee.

Posted on Wed, 08 Mar 2017

Posted on Wed, 25 Nov 2015

Crikey, is this a Suffolk thing, like pargeting? Very amusing. Bring back the park keeper I say, he'll sort them out with his rake.

Love this, 'winter ending so

Posted on Fri, 20 Nov 2015

Love this, 'winter ending so soon'. I can imagine how he feels; New Year for breakfast, Easter for lunch, Christmas for dinner. Time can fly and drag all at the same time. I do hope that elderly lady was doing something nice in her garden - how...

Wow, do you work for Reading

Posted on Tue, 17 Nov 2015

Wow, do you work for Reading Borough Council? This is brilliant, repellent, hilarious, well-written and the rest. Don't think I can eat dinner now though.
