Posted on Fri, 19 Jan 2024

A sad but ultimately satisfying second part, Paul. So nicely done. I can imagine the silence in their house and the welcome presence of the cat wandering in. I suppose you have to make allowances for people's coping strategies in such sorrowful...

I couldn't agree more, Maxine

Posted on Wed, 17 Jan 2024

I really like this, Rhiannon. It's easy to forget that farmers are up and out in all weathers, at all times helping nature along. Your words are soft and powerful here, much like the lamplight.
