Parcel for you...Part 22
The air in the car was filled with the familiar scent of Annie, a stuffy mix of patchouli and clothing which had been put away slightly damp. Despite...

Too Many Tabs Open
I’ve got too many tabs open in my head. Even at night I don’t close them just in case they disappear forever. A classmate I admired, the name of a...

Sparkly Little Paula
I wrote this for International Women's Day but as often, I'm too late for the IP. It's based on a true story of my school friend, Paula Dale.

Parcel for you...Part 21
Annie was as much part of the modern world as Spencer, in that she was unsentimental about people’s weaknesses, unsympathetic to the experiences...

This is so beautiful,
Posted on Sun, 26 May 2024
This is so beautiful, illustrating a woman's life choices through the ages, how they adjust around her physical self and the mind adapts to accept the changes. No regretting or forgetting, her fading has an element of satisfaction. She lived her...

Posted on Wed, 22 May 2024
This is a suffocating read, something like a dream or nightmare in which you are trapped. The addition of a train only adds to the claustrophobic atmosphere and the feeling of life being out of control and bad times ahead. Look forward to the...

We could have done everything

Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024
This reminds me of when I was a child visiting Llanbedr and every year when we arrived, the same man was seated on the same bench, to the point where we always looked out for him and waved. The spirit of him must still be there. It's wonderful to...

Your powerful imagination
Posted on Wed, 15 May 2024
Your powerful imagination allows you to revisit the holiday and the waterfall whenever you want to, Jenny. I bet you remember the scent of the magical air around the waterfall. Apparently water has a memory and everything which passes the water...

Those girls weren't protected
Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024
Those girls weren't protected because they were poor and very vulnerable and the perpetrators WERE protected because of their own identity. To a certain extent they still are being protected. They are referred to as a 'grooming gang' whereas...

Posted on Tue, 07 May 2024
That sounds similar to some of my dreams, Jenny. In many ways they're so much more exciting than real life and are to be appreciated. It sounds almost like you went around the world. Some people say that the faces you see in your dreams are...

I enjoyed the way you
Posted on Sun, 28 Apr 2024
I enjoyed the way you describe the branches as outstretched and welcoming of all. A tree holds no prejudice and they're such generous spirits but beautiful too, what more could you ask? We are planning to have a lovely mature cedar removed...

Posted on Thu, 02 May 2024
All this technology which is supposed to make life easy is leaving us incredibly vulnerable. There's something comforting about vinyl, you can hold it like a photograph and money too. The replacement of the physical with the virtual makes us feel...

This is lovely, Rhiannon.

This is lovely, Rhiannon. They do like to put themselves forward as volunteers in the garden and with endless colour combinations and slight variations in shape, to charm not chime. Even the unopened buds are so pretty.
