Catching up on this, and it's

Posted on Sun, 26 Feb 2023

Catching up on this, and it's a real page-turner! I love all the details you put in, about the way she keeps the chain on the door to start with, ramps up the tension. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

So cleverly written, Mark,

Posted on Sat, 18 Feb 2023

So cleverly written, Mark, managing to get all that action, information and introspection into so few words. The characters, and the narrator's voice, are so clear. A joy to read.

This is really beautiful, Di,

Posted on Thu, 16 Feb 2023

Love the poem and the picture

Posted on Mon, 13 Feb 2023

Love the poem and the picture. My legs are what they call 'sturdy'. I used to hate them with a passion, now I love them to bits because they're still working when friends with more shapely pins have had to have bits replaced. Hooray for Tesco...

As everyone has said, this so wonderfully brings a time and place to life. Such beautiful phrases - among many, I was very taken with the bells 'swinging in the sixties'. So clever! Lovely writing.
