A beautiful tribute to these
Posted on Wed, 29 Jan 2025
A beautiful tribute to these darling little flowers. I am currently planting little colonies of them in my garden. I don't think I can put into words how much I love snowdrops but you've done a lovely job here, Rhiannon.

There's an undercurrent here, it's like a game of chess, grievances simmering, doubts niggling. I was going to say, it's like a soap opera but the characters have more class, they're cultured. I think Perfidia might regret the oblivion tomorrow...

Thank you, Di, it's so encouraging to know that you're still enjoying it. I think you're right that Vanessa and Spencer sort of rescue each other on a regular basis. Some people reckon the whales and dolphins are more intelligent than us, they've...

I wonder if you have to be a certain type to be a guide on those ghostly walks or perhaps you become a little bit haunted yourself. The Grim Reaper reminded me a bit of those extra people on the ghost train who poke you or pull your hair. You've...

Magic and animals with beautiful names and all the accompanying complex dramas. Animal relationships are complicated just like us humans, certainly the one's who I've had the pleasure of living with. The way you bring it all to life with dialogue...

I am so sorry to read this, Penny. It was very recently you wrote about the shocking diagnosis and how daunted you were feeling. He looks so lovely in the photograph.
I hope writing can help you to process the shock and give you something...
