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...

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

Frosty  clear,

blue, blue day - sky

Sparkling night:

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,

I have to say that our school could be wild too. I was in the lowest of the lowest classes all my school life, because I was a slow learner. Many of the boys ended up on the bad side of the law, because of their antics. ...

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

Hi Turlough,

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...
