Posted on Sat, 22 Feb 2025

Status plays a big part in school life. Trouble is when leaving, that position doesn't go with you.

Teenagers go one of two ways, either firm and determined, or irresolute.

You make some valid points in this story Jane, of which I...

Hi Rhiannon,

Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025

Hi Rhiannon,

what a great trip out. I just love castles, but haven't been to one since Warwick Castle many years ago. The castle ruins in your photo look so impressive. I know Wales has many, but I've never been to any. 

These...

Hi Phil,

Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025

Hi Phil,

I think you've done a brilliant job at pulling Jeannie's back story together. Poor woman being raped by her grandfather is horrifying. Everything adds up now. I wonder! If Precious will change her ways.

I'm sorry to see the...

Posted on Fri, 21 Feb 2025

You've conjured so many vivid memories Turlough. Was Foxwood an all boys school? Only no girls were mentioned.

Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2025

Spencer seems to be in better control of the situation than Vanessa, even though he's been tampered with.

Can't wait to find out more about Cedric, he seems a bit eccentric, which makes the story more tense, not knowing how he might act...

it's getting really exciting with all the unanswered questions flying around. Now I'm wondering who is at the front door. Keep going Penny, loving the suspense.

Hi Rhiannon, It was so interesting to read

Posted on Mon, 17 Feb 2025

Hi Rhiannon, It was so interesting to read your school life history. It seems you moved around a lot, it must have been unsettling, but I suppose you were used to it.

When my granddad was ill, we stayed with my gran for quite a few months...

Hi Rhiannon,

Hi Rhiannon,

you capture this February weather with your poem. Love the idea of:

Frosty  clear,

blue, blue day - sky

Sparkling night:

warm clothing,

That gives me a hospitable feeling, with my love of the...

I love how you're keeping the plot going Jane. It can go in so many directions. Cedric is a great new character too, that I'm sure will add to the story.

Loving reading and look forward to next part.

Jenny.
