This is such an endearing

Posted on Tue, 09 Dec 2025

This is such an endearing read Turlough. Your young voice comes across perfectly and I can just imagine you all sitting in the van. I'll bet those kids that made fun of your dad's van were just jealous and that's why they made fun.

Me and...

I had to look up Hristo Botev

Posted on Fri, 05 Dec 2025

I had to look up Hristo Botev, as I knew nothing about this man. I discovered he was a poet who was in exile for a good part of his life because of his beliefs in dignity and freedom. He wrote poems of the mountains, rivers and fields and there's...

Posted on Thu, 04 Dec 2025

Making plans is so easy when you're young, but as we age the anticipation is great, but the actual doing is something else that's harder to cope with.

You've explained this in your poem very well Rhiannon.

Posted on Thu, 04 Dec 2025

A haunting story that's morally concerned with the mother's distinction of right and wrong. It made me wonder how much the children missed out on being rebellious. Their lives were so controlled.

Very much enjoyed reading.

Posted on Tue, 02 Dec 2025

This is so special Penny, it sums up the magic of winter. Love the idea of Barren branches sway and shiver, and Subnivean creatures scurrying underfoot, then the Owls screeching in the canopy Sounds carried on howling winds. Could picture the...

Such an interesting patchwork

Posted on Mon, 01 Dec 2025

Such an interesting patchwork of diary entries and comments going on Turlough. I was so sorry to hear about Ludo's cat fight injuries, It must be so hard on you both going backwards and forwards to the vets and I know how hard it is to keep cats...

Penny you've captured the intrigue perfectly and I have no idea where you'll go next with this story, which keeps me captivated.

Posted on Fri, 28 Nov 2025

That's such a shame you never got to fly over the Nazca lines. They have been on Ancient Aliens too, and what fascinates me the most, is that when they were made, we couldn't see the earth from the sky as there weren't any flying vehicles, so for...
