All's Well That Ends Well
I suppose you could say my life was like a fairytale back in 1983. In a place far away in the past, I'd just had my baby, but found myself in a...

What an amazing journey
Posted on Wed, 02 Feb 2022
What an amazing journey Turlough. I can never get over how much adventure you've experienced in your life. To have shown those children so much kindness, gives me faith that there are good people in the world.
The language barrier never...

Hi Penny,

I like the fact that although Dillon could be the suspect, you are still keeping the suspense going as this mystery progresses. As always Willow comes across as a very wise cat.
Still very much enjoying.
Jenny.

This was so creepy, I thank goodness that I don't ever get involved with anything but ABC Tales. I have been stupid in the past and been hit with some scams, but you live and learn. This story was something else, a lot more scary.
Hope you...

Posted on Sun, 02 Jan 2022
The drink may not have been your best friend, but you certainly made some memories Turlough.
My partner nearly died when he was born, but his nan gave him a tiny bit of brandy on her finger, and it revived him, so not all bad.
My...

Posted on Thu, 30 Dec 2021
I had a right good laugh reading this...of course as always.
I have to admit that phones are good for taking photos, but you can't beat looking through an album of memories, and like you say if the power goes out and we can't recharge,...

Posted on Thu, 30 Dec 2021
Of course the misletoe has sadly got a bad reputation, but your poetic words emanate their beauty too. I like the idea that if there ever was a secret of the berries, it's the mistle thrush who only knows, adds a touch of mystery that we as...

A poem that becomes all too
Posted on Wed, 29 Dec 2021
A poem that becomes all too familiar as I get older.
Significant lines for me:-
Yew trees (Stoical) standing in silence,
winter robins singing - lift solemn spirits.
Flowers lying in grave beds decaying,
floral...

So much put into this poem
Posted on Fri, 10 Dec 2021
So much put into this poem Turlough. That sixth stanza reminds me of old times when on holiday with girl friends, we would get dressed up ready to hit the night clubs, and of course see if we could pick up some guys...these things just had to be...

Posted on Mon, 06 Dec 2021
I love how you've woven a story into this poem Turlough. The rhythm and rhyme are perfect too. It's a sad story and reminds me of the American native indians who had their land taken away. People with power and loads of money always seem to win...
