Afternoon Delight

Contemplation

A squirrel would know the spirit of a tree, its inner thoughts...a language so free. As I sweltered in extreme heat – local oak informed me: “autumn'...

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.

After everything that's

Posted on Fri, 14 Feb 2025

After everything that's happened, with all the twists and turns in your story Phil, it's been such a great pleasure to read. 

I'm now wondering how Precious will react to what Jeannie has to say. After her reaction in the other part,  I...

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

Hello Di,

Posted on Sun, 09 Feb 2025

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

Hi Turlough,

Posted on Sat, 08 Feb 2025

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...

Posted on Sun, 02 Feb 2025

It's lovely to hear from you Turlough. Hope you are well.

I'm not as adventurous as I was when younger, finding the world a scary place nowadays, and not understanding technology, or how to manoeuvre my way. I used to drive, but now my...

What an exciting episode Phil

Posted on Fri, 07 Feb 2025

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

I'm sorry it's nearly coming to an end. You've put so much into the writing of this story and I've really enjoyed...
