Dinner for Three
This week from https://fivedotoh.com/2023/02/08/fowc-with-fandango-perfume/ is perfume. Standing at the bus stop, Stella pulled her raincoat around her body, doing up the top few buttons. She hadn’t meant to go out, but buying her mum’s favourite perfume took longer than she first thought. It wasn’t the most expensive, or glamorous, but the smell reminded her ofContinue reading “Dinner for Three”
Love Letter
My love letter to nature for https://carrotranch.com/category/flash-fiction-challenge/ Hi, Mother Nature, I’m sorry it has been a long time since I spoken to you, but you’ve always been in my thoughts.

Winter Breeze
My thoughts on https://alwayswrite.blog/ WQ #5 I took my Shottie for a walk today, cold, there were birds in the trees, singing their spring tune.
