Orvieto

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ Alessandra didn’t care; she sang out of tune. Mamma Maria; her mum’s favourite song.

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ I run across the stone bridge, which leads to my home. There are so many pleasant memories of growing up.

Sitting on a deckchair with a captivating novel. Nobody there to interrupt that narrative replaying in your head. For me, books have always been a pastime to help with the stressesContinue reading “Quiet and Safe”

Right or Left

Written for https://crispinakemp.com/2025/07/23/crimsons-creative-challenge-044/ ‘Why don’t you ever ask for directions?’ Luna Rabbit said, poking her head out of the long green grass.
