Hi Turlough,

It must be so frustrating when your electric keeps going off and on, especially if you're in the middle of something, how on earth do you cope? Makes you realize how much we depend on electric. We cook on electric and our...

I love how you combine Arty's dream world with reality Jane. Purple Mountain certainly exerts a surprising power, like your story does for me too. It all sounds so ominous and I look forward to reading more when I can.

Hi Jane,

Posted on Fri, 20 Feb 2026

Hi Jane,

you've woven a moving account of this runner. I can understand the need to hold on to his top, it's part of who he was and keeps his memory alive.

Having been a fitness fanatic back in the late 80s and early 90s, I can...

So many memories come flooding back. Loved Tintagel and the stories behind King Arthur and Merlins cave. Those beach recollections come flooding back. I loved searching the rock pools looking for tiny fish or crabs. All your adventures are so...
