Age Cannot Wither Her

How I hate that dratted blackbird. Always there singing its fluid song, a song in praise of...some would say nature, others sunrise, some the sexual...

The Crossing
A river to cross. The outward journey a manageable task, the goal a long stretch of beach opening onto a perfect bay. A favourite of fishermen, but...

Truth telling?
I’m not sure why I agreed to it. My nan always said ‘Be sure your sins will find you out.’ I think she might have been right but there’s still time...

So many great lines and images.

Hi Jean
I love the way your writing is 'warts and all'! You write things as they are, both good and bad. But you always end on a positive note.
I think we've all been there with the food business, can't be bothered and cut corners...

Hi Jean
What an upleasant experience for you (and Effie). A well written, amusing and informative piece, as usual. You do seem to overcome the trials and tribulations of your condition with great equanimity.
RESPECT!

Hi Jean
Another lovely 'little epistle'. Effie does sound like a troublesome little child at times. Glad you managed to settle her down allowing you both much needed sleep.

Hi Jean

Still keeping me smiling, in spite of. Loved your description of Effie's singing. My writing class teacher has a stoma as a result of a ruptured bowel a couple of years ago. Very nasty at the time but now she is fine and is coping...

Hi Jean
In spite of the seriousness of your case you have still the ability to make me smile. Like the formatting, it seemed to be a planned approach.
Lots of information here that many of us knew little about.
Pleased that...
