I think Matt is handling this perfectly. Trying too hard would drive Levi away. Not trying at all would alienate Levi.

@kbois We in the Krew have been very patient! Maybe not the dog.

You managed to create a vile, hated character with just a few words! I actually had tears thinking about pa breaking the legs of those poor sheep. While I’m 100% certain that I’ll always hate pa, I’m eager to discover the source of the feud, perhaps something to do with the dead wife? I feel for Augie, he is in misery right now. I’m curious as to his escape hopes and his ma’s mother.

Neil strikes me as the type of person that is very routined, and getting out of his routine is a very big deal. It took an "event" to shake him up and urge him forward. I loved the peace offering!

I agree with the mob! I think we speculated on a possible pregnancy at the time of Julie’s disappearance, as she seemed to have put on a few pounds prior to leaving. I think they last saw her at their burger diner they always visited. The kid would be 17 by now. Also, mom sucks! We don’t know that dad knew what she said to Matt. Being shocked about a new adult grandchild is one thing, but she had to know what Matt would think!

I have a feeling that Taggert's lack of confidence comes from his family (or whomever raised him) beating down any original thoughts. His shower behavior is certainly peculiar, given his choice of the trailer. It's sad to think the defensiveness overrules the shyness. Something bad has happened in his past. I'm hoping the stable environment and good company will help Taggert gain confidence and come out of his protective shell.

Thank you for continuing to share this story with us!

Were it not for the fact that we know future Nathan is alive and well and living with Martin, I would be upset. Perhaps this was the impetus for the move from Adelaide?

This is one of my all time favorite stories here. We get to follow the growth of a man who was left behind society. I love Eric!

This is the second story of Graeme, a brave and mysterious knight, and Sam, his not quite squire. Both have complicated pasts and have suffered severe damage. They are travelling together, finding adventures, and maybe healing each other a little.

Thank for this very entertaining and touching adventure! Our heroes feel so real, both damaged but healing each other together, slowly. I can't wait for part three!

They're handling the lockdown better than most! I remember Australia doing it better and having it easier than the US and Europe. Patrick will liven things up! I continued working during the pandemic, gardencenters stayed open in my state and we had our busiest year ever. My fiftieth birthday was a quiet family dinner.

I have a feeling that mom is dealing with some very complicated feelings. She obviously still loves James. But she allowed her husband to reject and exile him. She allowed her son to verbally abuse him. And perhaps most importantly, she might be realizing that she is responsible for creating the monster that Sam has become. Do I feel sorry for her? No.

We now have a name to go with the voice, Madame Camilla. We know the mushrooms are shipped in to the warehouse, probably sent to the glassworks to be dried, processed, and packaged. Who owns the glassworks?

Finally! James stood up to his brother's abuse. I suppose I should be sad for his father's demise, he slightly redeemed himself at the end. But I will be shedding no tears. I hope his mom will now realize the bed she has made! As always, she will need to rely on others. I wonder if she has a self-reliant bone in her body. She will discover that pulling her identity solely from her husband and the useless son will leave her with no identity at all. If James is not careful, she will cling on to him like a barnacle for the rest of her life.
