They should have labelled it
Posted on Sun, 19 Feb 2023
They should have labelled it more clearly. However Earl Grey is a pleasant variant from normal tea in my opinion! I am sure it has enabled me to write certain pieces I might not otherwise have written over the years.

An awful tragedy! I think we knew the final figures were going to be a lot higher given that they are just counting the bodies. When we see the pictures and hear the detailed stories it brings the cruelty of this disaster closer to us. The...

Posted on Thu, 29 Dec 2022

Posted on Tue, 20 Dec 2022
I enjoyed this realistic story. In this all too real Christmas Tale it seems too much damage has been done to the relationship, and Mick's late reversal of attitude seems to come too late to save his marriage! Not all Christmas tales can end well...
