👀 Now that's one twist I hadn't considered. 🤨😄 I haven't said a huge amount about his former carer but she definitely isn't Tyler's mum.
-
Maybe it's something you'll have to imagine for yourself?
-
Yes. Maybe he's not quite as blunt as he was at the start? There's still the tendency to call a spade a spade. I don't think that will ever change. I largely regard that as being done with the move to Ross on Wye and the start of her new life. It may not be tied off with a bow but it brings her story to a satisfactory conclusion. As for the court case against her husband - justice grinds exceeding slow. In the time frame of the story, knowing he's been charged is as much of a conclusion as is possible.

If you were to say the epilogue is the wedding reception, I wouldn't correct you. 😉
-
A lot? 👀 There are some loose ends, yes, but I wouldn't describe what's left as a lot.

Eric lay in bed listening to rain pounding down on the cottage's tiled roof. Grey light crept round the dingy, yet aggressively floral, curtains. He lacked the energy to start his day. A swirl of air hurled more rain against the window, rattling its casement. What had happened to the previous weekend's glorious weather? The bedroom's dim, monochrome flatness suited his mood. Eric squirmed under the sheets until he found a more comfortable position. The mattress lurched and complained. It ne

Thank you, you're very kind to say so. Melodrama isn't usually my thing. Some people might say, drama isn't my thing either. 🤨😁
-
You may be waiting a while (if you're talking about Eric initiating anything). Quite possibly beyond the scope of this story.
-
Update... and suddenly this morning, I can get on the site no problem. That's without me updating my router or doing anything else this end. Weird. Thanks for all help and suggestions.
-
At least Eric's giving it a go. I imagine he'll stick with the phone even though he might regard it as being a pact with the devil.
-
👀😬🤨😁 I somehow doubt that would be a productive experience.
-
🤣 You've never had any time for her (or her Pekinese), Tim. It did give me a feeling of satisfaction to write it.
-
I'll pass the message on. 🤨😄 Eric is dogged. I think he'll persist but using a mobile phone is never going to be second nature for him. It is however a signal of how he's willing to apply himself.
-
Yes, from various points of view. Him being the centre of attention, having to put difficult thoughts and emotions into words, and simply being in close proximity to a youth he doesn't understand.

Enveloped in the warmth of a golden Saturday afternoon, Andy lay back on soft green turf. Beside him on the gently sloping incline, Adam appeared to be dozing, his breathing slow and peaceful. Turning over onto his front, Andy propped himself up on both elbows and once again examined the three ruined, mediaeval stone arches which formed a focal point on the crest of the rise. Ripped out of an about-to-be-demolished church in the mid-eighteenth century, the local landowner made the arches into a

OK... with @Mawgrim's suggestion, I'm tethering my phone currently to use my laptop. I have a new router which I haven't bothered to install. I'll try that tomorrow and see if it makes any difference. Otherwise, I'll start trying to get an answer out of Vodaphone (my ISP). Thanks for your help, @Myr
-
Interesting idea, @Mawgrim but just loaded nifty without any problem. I think that answers any issue with parental controls. Thanks though.
-
Just tried with Firefox and got exactly the same issue. Neglected to say earlier, access on my phone is via external data. When I switch to wi-fi, I get the usual issues. They're both with the same provider (phone data and wi-fi).
-
The site address still showed https even when the 'not secure' message was evident. I've manually updated Chrome, cleared my browsing history, and done a Google search for GA. That link which is current and showing https still gives me the time out error. Tried on Edge earlier and got the same thing. I guess it's at ISP level but I don't understand why it's only affecting GA.
-
Doing this on my phone. I've been unable to connect to GA on either my laptop or tablet this evening. Both Chrome, laptop Windows 10. My attempts to connect are timed out. On my laptop, beside the web address, the site information says 'Your connection to this site is not secure'. I've tried deleting cookies, rebooting, but it hasn't helped. The full web address still includes https. I guess it's probably me but any suggestions would be appreciated. All other sites are working normally.
-
Thank you for this description. I love the way the second half turns things around. True. The Romance category for this story is more to do with Andy and Adam (everything else is Drama). But I think readers hope for a Hallmark ending. Mine tend to be rather more open-ended. 🤨😄
-
It was a pretty pivotal chapter, wasn't it? Glad it had the desired effect.

Clothes maketh the man? I don't imagine Eric will be spending the same amount he spent on the jacket etc very often. But yes, being out in the world more has changed his perspective on clothes.
