Story and Poem of the Week and Inspiration Point

I've just spent a very wonderful time going through this week's poems and stories, which has taken my mind off the fact that it's freezing cold here, so thank you very much to all who posted - what an inspiring bunch of people you are!

Two fabulous picks for you this week: Our Story of the Week goes to Jane Hyphen's brilliant Cricks Crocodile, and our Poem of the Week to D Marie for Winter - even though it made me slightly colder, it says everything in very few words. Congratulations to both!

One piece of news: we are now on Bluesky thanks to onemorething who very kindly created an ABCTales account, so if you'd like to give us a follow, look for @abctales.bsky.social

If you're not familiar with Bluesky it's an app based social, like Twitter used to be and isn't anymore.

Last week's Inspiration Point was so great and had such amazing results, I'm leaving it up for one more week

I hope you all have a good weekend, safe from Storm Bert - what a name for a storm!
