Some fictional fortune
Posted on Tue, 13 Oct 2026
Some fictional fortune telling combined with an all too familiar tale. Folk re-writing history to make themselves look better and relationships never built because of lies, so easy to tell to a child. It's a dark plot like so many hidden in...

I really enjoyed this, Penny.

I really enjoyed this, Penny. You've captured the fun part, the treats and dressing up and then the truly frightful element presented in a spooky format. Foolish souls messing about with what they don't understand...

Those big barns are sinister.

Those big barns are sinister. You've created such strong imagery here, seasonal fun combined with desolation. Pumpkins getting so huge so quick, it's a fruit freak show. Look forward to the next part.

Thanks for reading, Turlough. You need to look harder, a 36F at sunrise. Ophelia and Barnaby are good names...for cats. I bet there's some gossip in your village, Turlough, or maybe you are the source of gossip..

I love the way you've
Posted on Mon, 21 Sep 2026
I love the way you've described autumn as bohemian because I think as a season, it really would want to be called that. Rich and a bit wild, mushrooms too. Rustic spicy textures makes me think of the forest. It's a captivating season with a tinge...

Posted on Thu, 17 Sep 2026
Ha ha, yes I can relate to that. Don't forget the kites in pylons, I had a fear of kites after that terrifying advert. Perverts seemed to be everywhere, I guess they still are. Your grandmother sounds like a very vigilant presence in the...
