Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

your observationhs in the mall were amusing, reminds me of the Outlet village here in Swindon, right by the Steam museum.

Your mention of searching for greengrocer's and fishmonger's being a fruitless mission, rings so...

As I'm reading I'm seeing an element of myself in your story. I had the chance to stay on at school and go to art college, but decided in the end money was more important. It would be good to think I had another self, who actually did go to...

Hi David, there's no way I would go to Glastonbury festival now, far too busy there for me at my age, and as for camping now...well I can't think of anything worse. 

You were lucky to go there in 1987, it's more than I've achieved in my...

Posted on Sun, 22 Jun 2025

Your poem is a jewel to treasure Frances. It reminded me of my own early days back in the early 60s, I used to go through my late mum's jewel box with her necklesses, brooches and bracelets. I still have some of her jewels to this day, which I...

I can just see the expression on Gwladys face, poor woman never gets a moment to herself. Though It was so amusing to read.

Fun to read as always Phil.

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.

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...
