Posted on Sat, 01 Oct 2022

Another lovely intense little poem, feeling the rushing wind brushing your face! My father loved standing on the promenade in West Wales in a gale saying it was 'blowing the cobwebs from his head' after so much deskwork in London! I loved the...

I respect how much you get on

Posted on Fri, 30 Sep 2022

I respect how much you get on with things, Jean, and also your openness about doing probably unwise things when exhausted. I liked your last sentence! It reminded me of ' And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can...

Written so tightly, but begs so many questions. Feel you get to know her enough to realise how much you'd like to understand as to how she is now! Did she keep clean from the cocaine herself, get through her degree, and the self-harming …? ...

I'm glad you highlighted the pleasure of taking time to breathe in the fragrances and feel the softness (and squelchiness sometimes!) of the damp green beneath your feet! Rhiannon;

Posted on Tue, 20 Sep 2022

I'm so glad I know that that is not the future!! Amazing to imagine a world government forming (must be authoritarian), but when that is superceded by a computer, I suppose there is no possibility of criticizing or changing its views at all...

Difficult to comment on a story in progress. But your descriptions and vocabulary are well-thought out. I dislike halloween type stories or fictional meddling and fascination with evil, so not sure how I'll find your imaginations! Rhiannon

well-drawn characters and background. You haven't laboured it, or made the reading heavy in setting the scene. Lovely Gower location. Rhiannon

All clear, done, by now, I suppose. So sorry, hope you enjoyed the family time before it all happened! It's a learning game and a perseveing game I guess. And you have to have grit and a bit of a sense of humour! Rhiannon

They do look like the imagined fairy skirts don't they? But shurely not a witch's thimble! So delicate and swaying in the breeze. One of the lovely beauties of creation. Good to be reminded of the role of the roots, soil and rain in feeding their...
