These days you've probably seen more interesting cupboards than mine, but lately I haven't felt the need to shower my taste buds in the joys that...

You know my opinion on
Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2025
You know my opinion on technology Harry. The phone I've just got, sits on my desk unused, apart from some much needed important phone numbers that my partner's son put on for me.
The kind lady in the Vodaphone shop put me on facebook, but...

Hi Jess,
I love your description of my poem:- 'It reads like a composted memory.'..that is so apt and a much valued comment. Living in the moment gives reason to look back at old photos and recapture them in words, it's something I have...

Just spent a couple of hours reading this story Harry. So glad I went back to Dead Man 1. It's extremely atmospheric and the narrative really captures John's feelings as he goes about his business.
Fascinated on how you've created such...

Hi Maxine, I read your piece
Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2025
Hi Maxine, I read your piece with interest. Retiring for me was the best tonic being a home lover. Back in the middle 1990s and into early 2001, I worked nights in a factory, also ran a house on my own, and did three cleaning jobs too. I was like...

I was absorbed by the pensive thoughts. I've often wondered what it must be like to have been a twin and that connection that cannot be disconnected, no matter what.
There's an awareness of understanding in your writing Jane.

Hello Turlough, I can imagine
Posted on Tue, 10 Jun 2025
Hello Turlough, I can imagine how you must have felt losing Penka in such a horrible way. I remember when my own little darling, a pure black kitten called Misty had haemophilia and would bleed if she knocked herself, she was so loving, but had...
