Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

Posted on Sun, 09 Feb 2025

Hello Di,

That information about wrapping cabbage to reduce arthritic joint pain was interesting, will remember that when I get knee pain again.

There are so many epidemics around, even here in Swindon we cannot escape the dreaded bugs. I've had...

Hi Turlough,

you bring the essence of wandering those old streets to life with your fine words and photos. Bulgaria must be blessed with its wonderful old buildings that have stood the test of time. Not like in England, where they seem to...

What an exciting episode Phil. You captured the essence of anticipation perfectly. Poor Jeannie, I hope she'll be okay.

Oh dear, Vanessa's now got another problem to deal with. What is to become of Spencer! I wonder. So many scenarios spring to mind, but I'll just have to wait and read more.

Finding that glimmer of hope in the cardinal bird is such a gift. You bring to mind nature at its best in this story Penny.

Thoughtful and engaging to read.

Hi Paul,

Hi Paul,

now that's what I call getting into character. You demonstrate how young minds use their imagination to create a scenario, so well. 

This is something I would have done as a child. Reminded me of a game we used to play at...

Hi Rhiannon,

those views must have been worth trudging through all that slush and squelch. I can imagine the air would have been so fresh and left you with rosy cheeks. This time of the year is a pleasure to be out there when you're...
