  1. Three delightful, thoughtful poems. I particularly enjoyed the second. There is some beautiful language linked together with some painful emotions in this collection. what an awful thing is regret thank you

  2. It is common in Italy and Spain too but not on a huge scale, nevertheless cars are left covered in red sand. Annoying if you’ve just washed it!
  3. No pressure from us, Robert, no pressure 😜

    Chapter Three

    And then if he has a headache……..
  7. They most certainly do! could v easily be British (or Queenslanders?) Climate change is a grim reality here. Spain is number one on world list of countries most likely to become deserts.
  8. Really hope the holiday is going well. You choose the better part of the Mediterranean for your hols, here in w med it’s damp, cloudy and showers which leave the car covered in dirt. And this is a great read regardless of where we are. Awaiting Natasha’s entrance with great interest 😆

    The descriptive language is exquisite and draws the reader into each scene. A delight to read.

    Prologue

    Great start to what looks like being a really good story from the pen of one of my favourite authors here.

    Pericles & PJ

    Me too! And it is an excellent chp. Such good characterisations. As happens every time, Robert’s latest story just takes over and becomes a new favourite.
  16. Great advice for many of us. Thank you.
  17. Here in Spain the Tax Agency is, believe it or not, the most respected of government services. Given said agency is in receipt of ALL your bank details, you press a button and it completes your tax return. If you are owed money it takes about 5 days to receive it. If you owe money you have months to pay. I have to add overseas income and it recalculates things. I paid €45 for an accountant to check everything and she found a big error on my last ever employer details. Also married couples can decide to be taxed separately or together.
  18. My oldest friend from school spent 40 yrs as a top UK employment lawyer. His (sadly) edited tales of top firms without a clue how to handle disputes were amazing. I hope Simon gets well paid! love this story a lot.
  19. I didn’t really understand the dynamics of the employment/labour issue and it didn’t work for me. That said, the budding relationship between Martin and Nathan was a delightful, if painful (😣) read!
  20. Snow is the price you pay for living in one of the greatest countries in world! Here sun cream is becoming a necessity!

    Chapter 1

    For this alone, I’m impressed: a war zone of wheezing treadmill virgins The language is wonderful, thank you!

    New Horizons

    “The lone wolf had evolved: open, loved, ready for whatever came next.” great ending to a good story. Thanks
  23. Great to read a story set in Germany. It reads v authentically and we are drawn in along with Paul. v nicely written

    True, but I have some doubts. But all will be revealed by the master puppeteer!
