I think we had sleet this morning. Winter is here...

News

At least the monthly dose of that old codger Beare and his desperate old jokes will warm the cockles of our hearts.

And that loquacious young codger, Jonty Stewart, has been giving a character interview. Those of you who prefer Orlando be warned. Jonty is in mischievous form.

Now, do you ever run across something you wrote and think, “Oh! Did I produce that? It’s rather good. If incredibly daft...” There is a link here to a whole collection of daftness in the form of requested flashfics and limericks featuring Jonty and Orlando, my werewolves, my actor ladies, etc. Enjoy! (You have been warned.)

Inspiration:


Not only are war graves incredibly moving, the inscription at the bottom of this one fascinates me. What story is there to tell?

P.S. Thanks to his soldier number being on Commonwealth War Graves, I was able to look Vincent up on "Soldiers Who Died in the Great War" on findmypast.co.uk. That's where I learned that he'd died at sea, where his battalion was, and all the rest of it.

Oh, you star! I'd found him at the CWGC but didn't know about findmypast. Tragic story - made me think of Rupert Brooke.
