Whisks

Um… not sure that’s what I intended when I posted but, since it’s you, I’ll run with it 🙂

I’ll get my thinking cap on and come back to this.

@sandradavies Didn’t work out the way I wanted, and too late to be of any use, but I thought I’d post it anyway… 🙂

EROSION

And it’s just enough to harm
It’s just enough to make its mark

Is it just me, or has that guy got a voice like a Brillo pad?
Actually…
…could you turn it down?
It’s making me maudlin.
No, seriously. Turn it down.
Or,…[Read more]

I saw that Debi had praised it on Facebook.

Looks useful. Hope it’s well set out.

Congratulations, Sandra! 😊 And well done to Ath and Daeds. All brilliant entries!

Thanks for the prompt, Janette, that encouraged me to try something completely different 👍

Smashing story, Sandra. Very well deserved win!

Rose the Cat

One day when I was seven, my sister Rose turned into a cat. I expected it because Rose had said ‘You won’t catch me here much longer.

And tried to fashion something new,
Nothing worked till I caught sight

Fab review! Well done – she clearly really enjoyed it & picked up on all the things that I love about your writing! 🙂

What a brilliant review. I hope this generates some activity/interest/sales!

Incidentally, I see that Carol McKay wrote a pandemic novel that just beat the actual pandemic to publication, as did Kimmery Martin and Lawrence Wright. But they got splashed all over the papers and radio for it. Not a fair world.

This is fab, Sandra. Congratulations.

Wow, that’s not far from me at all. Half an hour by car. A pilgrimmage might be in order

That’s probably one reason it was chosen as a refuge for the band. And yes, it does sound worth a visit.

If you’re curious, this page has a photo of the house as it was when the band was there, though it appears to have been taken from the back garden. A click will blow it up.
