Hi Harry,
I'm so glad that in the end you and your brother had the chance to say your final goodbyes to your mum. I think it's those close final moments, your mum would have cherished your choice of scene to spread her ashes.
Just...

I loved the way you described
Posted on Sat, 19 Oct 2024
I loved the way you described those haunting memories Harry. Isn't it heartbreaking though, when there's someone in the family that just wants to cause unnecessary anguish towards another human? I can never understand animosity, it's just not in...

I can see two stories forming here, one with the homeless man found in the reservoir, and the continuation of the mystery behind the masked Gemma...strange goings on all round.
I so admire your imagination for keeping this great story...

Poor Vanessa must feel so awkward after what Spencer just...

I had a brilliant boss in my last ever job, we got on really well. We had the same sense of humour and he was a people person and understood me so well. I don't think I would have minded if he'd been demoted and we were working together...infact...

How do you do it Phil, keep one new plot after another going? I'm so hooked wondering who this Gemma girl is now. Waiting with anticipation to find out.

Hi Harry,

Well I'm so glad the forest
Posted on Wed, 09 Oct 2024
Well I'm so glad the forest guard could see Daphne's anger. I think Martha's so wise, her knowledge of magic is so proficient, I don't think Daphne stands a chance of fooling her.
Great read as always Penny. ...
