A very good read. It reminded me of standing watching the runners come in at the end of the London marathon a few years ago, waiting for my daughter to finish. (She did!) It is indeed really uplifting to hear the crowd cheering for everyone. And...

As every, you perfectly weave landscape and past together, and bring both alive. Like Penny, I thought your last line was brilliant. Congratulations on the very well-deserved golden cherries.

I wonder if a mediocre moon
Posted on Mon, 16 Sep 2024
I wonder if a mediocre moon is also a dressing-gown moon? It gets up and thinks, no, not tonight, really can't be bothered, I'm just going to sit in my dressing-gown and eat my own crackers. Let them say what they like.

This is really interesting, Harry, and a really valuable resource. The myths can be so destructive. My daughter has epilepsy and the things people believe about that can still astound me.
As insert says, well done on giving the workshops...

Delightful. Beautifully drawn characters, great atmosphere, wit and a dose of cataclysmic despair. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

I really enjoyed reading this
Posted on Wed, 21 Aug 2024
