    Another intriguing start, Lee!

    Meet The Parents

    The tension is mounting towards the revelation to Kris of his origins. It’s going to be tough. Will JJ be emotionally capable of being there for someone? Intriguing. 🤨 (Disclaimer: please note this chapter was certified (ok by me) as having been read before claiming dibs on the first comment prize. BTW what exactly is the prize?)

    Thirty-Two

    I loved the chp and the comments which, for me, are summed up by @pvtguy’s comment. Much to reflect on here. happy weekend to you guys from the newly-retired Gary, as of 2.44 hours ago!

    Chapter 1

    A lovely chp, I especially liked the slow build up on the metro, v nice 👍
  7. This Lle Wilson story is a bit different and focuses on entering into a very new world for the protagonist, Manny. It’s a rollercoaster ride for him and us readers, as well! as ever, with Lee, there is an edgy style that I for one, really enjoy. So, dive in, sit next to Manny in the lawyer’s office and reflect if you would have said yes or no…… A great read.

    I was just about to write something similar. Spot on @Talo Segura, well said. 🤗

    Almost July and not had AC on here yet in Valencia, Spain, although outside it has touched 35° some days… But the horror will arrive soon.

    Twenty-Eight

    Never ever have I been to IKEA….. nor played a video game…. Nor flown on a low cost airplane… But I LOVE this story!

    Twenty-Two

    I use the same Sheffield knives every day. They sat unused in a drawer for 60+ years and then came to me. Love them.

    The Exhibition

    Try Lucien Freud’s painting of the (I think) social security supervisor for size……
  14. What @centexhairysub said! Robert is a master of how to pitch and control descriptive writing. He manages to paint pictures of characters so distinctively any yet so concisely. I felt I was standing there just outside the loggia capturing passing comments. @Robert Hugill I think this story is possibly your best. Thank you.🙏
  15. My knowledge of Mannerism is virtually zero, so thank you for stimulating me to explore…… not sure if I would buy any of FH’s collection ( even if I had the money) but give me some more Hockney’s and I would be a happy boy!

    Give me Mother any day!

    Mother

    An utter delight. I’ve spent a couple of hours catching up on this story and it has not been disappointing. Very nice writing, as usual, but I have to say that “Mother” is one of @Robert Hugill’s best creations. A perfect don’s wife.

    Martin and Bart

    Been to that type of bitchy party - never again!
  19. That’s cheating! I read it first and then commented. Enjoy your glory! PPS it is a great read. Xx
  20. Another truly wonderful installment. So much is packed into so few words, and yet it all flows beautifully. Thank you so much Mark. I thought Northern Exposure could not be equalled - I fear it has a rival in my heart ❤️
  21. Thank you for your posting! 🤗
  22. Lee, once again you’ve got me hooked in to one of your tales. I’m a late arrival to this one but with a holiday on Monday and retirement next Friday, I should be caught up. I really enjoy both the story line but also the way you really develop your characters into people we can emotionally engage with. Well done!
  23. Two young thieves find more than just fruit. This is a lovely short story of life in a bush town. But best of all, for me, is the quality of the writing. The author has great skill. Well done

    Chapter 3

    Being Very rich, like being very handsome, can often be a challenge as we are finding out in this good tale. Sadly, it’s not a challenge I have had to struggle with!! good stuff, Chris
  25. “Will and Marie are flying out to Boston to move into the dorms. They start at Harvard a week from Monday,”. so it’s about to start….. if Harvard is to be the main course then the starters have been truly excellent. So much is happening…..
