    Sunday

    Looks like Reza is in for an interesting week, discovering things about Ravello and himself.

    Saturday

    What a pleasant surprise for a Sunday morning. Have to wonder if Reza will encounter any of the characters from the previous Ravello stories.

    Chapter 8

    That sure was a story and a half! The elves came out to save the day and chased all the boojums away Now Charlie & Co are back on the hill in time for the firework display.

    Chapter 7

    Bait? I'm sure there has to be an 'elf and safety' issue about using that! 🙂 Great rescue mission successfully accomplished thanks to the talents of Caspar & Keerby and their diversions. Even so, a bit nail biting at times.

    Chapter 6

    A new breed of fire ants!

    Chapter 6

    A lot of good thinking and planning here by the 'Merrie Men' I'm sure though that as predicted by @drsawzall the actual rescue will not go simply to plan. Where would be the fun and excitement if it did?

    Chapter 5

    Wow! that really was a gripping, tension packed chapter. It took all of the group's combined resources to fight off the boojums and their converts, but at the cost of Ricky being captured. However, Keerby managed to encase him in a protective shield to prevent him coming to any harm. Nevertheless it is easy to understand Adrian being distraught at his boyfriend's disappearance.

    He might be in for a Reudi awakening!🙂

    Chapter 5

    Let's all go to the ball game!🏈 Having dealt with those boojums I'm sure Charlie is up to handling the Bears, even if The Fridge happens to be around!

    Chapter 4

    That was an enlightening round table conference - except the table wasn't round. 🙂 Alternative reality world (and boojums!) here we come!

    Chapter 3

    I wasn't anticipating a quick return to the Eagle's Nest. There's definitely something eyrie going on there. 🦅🙂

    Chapter 2

    The Eagle's Nest eh? Now where have I heard that before in 1944 terms?? A very interesting opening encounter with the Esperants.

    Chapter 1

    July 4th is almost upon us and it is time for Charlie to assemble his motley crew for another adventure. Investigating a vast corporation might be difficult, but it shouldn't be dangerous, surely...
  14. Good to see the muse has returned and the story moving forward.

    Beginnings

    I'm not sure what description you should apply to 1920. Georgian definitely doesn't work. I also suspect that even in 1920 the general attitude in Scotland was still pretty much entrenched in those earlier eras. Am pleased to read your reassurance as to where the story is heading.

    Beginnings

    Am honestly not sure what to say because there is such a vast age difference between the two characters. It's a well written story, but that age difference makes what happens feel all wrong to me. Rather turns it into a Victorian/Edwardian rent boy tale.

    Justice

    All is finally revealed - which in this case was always in (as opposed to on) the cards. Thank you for the last 22 weeks of enjoyable reading.

    TV Trivia

    Funny you should say that as I had exactly the same problem 🙂 .Didn't like to mention it as he'd done such a good job with all the other characters.

    TV Trivia

    I echo Gary's comments. You did a good job on filling in the important background on all of the boys for us forgetful readers.

    Death

    Evidently the body was well preserved.🙂

    Chapter 12

    A story that is not only good, but also full of goodness. Of course to say it is 'good' is a grave understatement - superb is a much more appropriate word, but didn't work as well in my first sentence. Reading it I felt like the proverbial fly on the wall with a privileged position to partake in a portion of the characters' lives, while at the same time being entranced by their surroundings. Summer in Ravello is drawing to a close; the cicadas and fireflies have gone and no doubt the swifts have also departed along with Claudia. She will undoubtedly return as will the swifts. We readers can but hope @James Carnarvon will also be swiftly returning us for another enchanting story in this series.

    Chapter 11

    I'll second that!

    Chapter 10

    For Dani every day seems to bring more complications. But he does at least seem to have repaired his bridges with Emilia. As for Giacomo, the bridge there appears to be of the swing type which at present is neither totally closed nor open.

    Chapter 9

    He'll deserve a laurel wreath if he manage it. 😀

    Chapter 9

    'The course of true love never does run smooth' - especially so for young love. Marco is bound to feel that he has been led on by Dani after he was dumped by Giaco.
