Spring came and is not roaring through our smallholding but whimpering through like a kicked season. For me it is passing with a blur. All I seem to do is write and dig, dig and write. Not that I mind. At this time of year I am waiting for things to germinate, and for stories… Continue reading Summer

May contain nuts
Frank was peckish. He knew he ought not to be but it was turning out to be a hell of a day. In the morning he had been called into the bosses office. "Sit down, Frank," the big man had said. Frank assumed he had a name but he'd always called him boss. Now he said… Continue reading May contain nuts

The Drive
"I can't believe you didn't pack them," Mary said digging through the bag in her lap. "I thought chocolate was a bad idea." Mary turned and gave Rob a disbelieving look. "You're joking..." "Um...
