Crikey! What a story...a real horror.  Your description was so clear, I felt like I was there watching it all transpire. When he's opening the bedroom door and crawling in, I could feel the fear and panic his wife must have felt. Great story to...

Hi Jane,

Hi Jane,

Good morning Rhiannon,

Posted on Wed, 02 Mar 2022

Such a treasure to see so many snowdrops. I just love your metaphor for the trunks of trees too.
