Hi Turlough,

Posted on Thu, 12 Dec 2024

Hi Turlough,

Posted on Tue, 10 Dec 2024

To be able to read such details about places I would normally have no idea about otherwise, and will never get the chance to visit, makes me realize how lucky we are to have you on abc tales.

Spencer's lack of emotion

Posted on Sun, 08 Dec 2024

Spencer's lack of emotion makes him sound so condescending when dealing with Vanessa, especially when he acts all calm and she feels that human condition of frustration.

Posted on Wed, 04 Dec 2024

This is such a wonderful creation of a festive poem, that really put me in the mood for the season. Reminds me of a lost Victorian England with all the true meaning behind it, rather than the commerical money making.

Very much enjoyed and...

Hi Turlough,

Hi Turlough,

I agree the world does need more Johns. I wrote about him from my own experience of being asked if we wanted to sell our 1900s property, which they wanted to knock down for the development of a road leading to our back garden...
