In the movies, the people who are writers only ever drink coffee and write. I could do that. They never have to work in their garden or take their cat to the vet or go shopping in Kaufland.

Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021

Thirty odd years ago I decided that I didn't want to have kids because the world was in such a mess but then one came along and eventually another two and I love them all to bits and I'm glad I changed my mind. But in the last few months two...

This is an excellent piece of writing. Reading it made me think but it did nothing to cheer me.

I've done my best. I recycle and compost everything I can, my car has a small engine, I rarely eat animals and I spent years cycling to work...

The way things are going, I suspect heads will roll. I hope it's not Mrs Muggins that faces the chop. She sounds like a nice lady who has got roped into this time travel just to accompany her husband as he follows his whims. Surely she'd be...

Posted on Tue, 16 Nov 2021

I like the way that you remind us that December comes as more of a shock than November does. November is just the dark end of autumn with all the mystery and dreaminess that you describe so well, lulling us into a place of comfort before December...

It's sad to know that your family has needed to use care homes but I'm pleased to hear that you have some good positive things to say about them. There are a few terrible places which get in the news and it leads to the good ones being tarred...

Hello Rhiannon.

Hello Rhiannon.

I've sometimes been told by those who knew my Grandad better that even if I had asked the questions I probably wouldn't have got answers. Apparently he would never talk about his time in France during World War One. He went...
