Reading this, I can relate to

Posted on Thu, 22 May 2025

Reading this, I can relate to the conflicted emotions in regard to people who are desperate but may also prey upon you, rob you etc. Not much has changed over the centuries, Jenny. How lucky Emily is to have a family and money to spend.

Posted on Tue, 20 May 2025

This is going to be very interesting Jenny. Pure escapism from another era. I really like the descriptions of the house and objects from the time. A wealthy family who also care about those who struggle with less. Emily, a young lady with her...

Posted on Sat, 24 May 2025

This is unique and startling, frightening actually. I really enjoyed it. The way the museum is sleek and modern put me at ease initially and then everything bends and becomes distorted and personal.

This is wonderful, Jenny.

Posted on Thu, 01 May 2025

This is wonderful, Jenny. Well deserved pick of the day and poem of the week! The idea of a crumbling folly drowning in foliage yet also supported by it and you've encapsulated the romance and free flowing nature of these period garden features...

Thank you so much, Paul.

Posted on Thu, 01 May 2025

Royalty among trees, they

Posted on Sat, 12 Apr 2025

Posted on Thu, 03 Apr 2025

Hi Turlough, thanks for reading and taking the time to leave a comment. As free as the untamed creatures, yes, my motto is you should aways keep a small portion of yourself feral, of course this can express itself in many different ways.
