Without intention I looked back and realised I written this into many of my stories. The first picture Joanna’s Journey tells how she meets a guy on the train, who turned outContinue reading “Pictures Telling Stories, Famous People, Famous Places”
Dreaming up a Story
I’ve been involved with an anthology that comes out twice a year and sometimes have used revamped old stories, and occasionally brand new ones.

The Tams – Hey Girl Don’t Bother Me played on the radio this morning and it took me back to 1972 and a boy called Steve Crane. He was one of those cool guys that people looked up to and knew very little about. He was too old for me at 17. He lived threeContinue reading “Songs Take You to The Past to Relive Again”

Slop Buckets
By Karen J Mossman Originally written in 2009 from a now-defunct blog. I read in the Daily Mail how the government will issue everyone with a slop bucket for collecting foodstuff that is normally thrown in the bin. What a load of tosh. (Says I in 2009. Food waste buckets is something we’ve had forContinue reading “Slop Buckets”
