  1. Come on, Ivor! Do you really think I'd let THAT happen to my little town? 😁
  2. -- Chapter 21 -- As he watched Casey walk away, the feelings that seemed to flood every corner of Levi’s head, every space in his chest, felt overwhelming. The words had hit him like a slap at first, and his immediate reaction was to feel a surge of anger towards the boy, but then, an almost shameful flicker of something else seemed to creep into the void. Was it relief, knowing that people didn’t really care? Or was it curiosity, based upon the fact that Casey – the boy for whom he ha
  3. It's all up to the imagination my friend!
  4. @Philippe that works for me!
  5. Is it available on YouTube? Asking for a friend!
  6. I remember that! lol Hmmm ... 'Life at the Outpost' ... not a bad title for a story either! lol

    Chapter 1

    Agreed!
  8. No, not imagining it. And it is still a "thing" 😁
  9. Thank you everyone for all your reactions, comments and suggestions! As always, they are greatly appreciated! Levi is probably the most complicated character that I've ever written. I think there's a saying that goes something like, 'there's an enigma wrapped in a conundrum' isn't there (a twist on something Churchill once said perhaps?), anyhow I think it kind of fits our boy. Some of you think you know what is going to happen (tee hee hee), but let me assure you, there are some twists and turns in the road ahead ... so I hope you enjoy what is coming!!! Thanks again for your continued support and encouragement! Enjoy your reading!!!

    Gotta love Beth! ❤️
  11. -- Chapter 20 -- It was Friday afternoon when Matt and Levi finally made it to Macquarie Harbour and to the office of the Roads and Traffic Authority – the place where learner’s permits and licenses were either handed out or denied. With Luke’s help, Levi had downloaded the rules of the road from their website, and he had been working through the online guides and mock tests for the permit. There was a lot to take in, but the online tests seemed simple enough – mostly theory – so by the

    Maybe it's the Taylor Sheridan / Yellowstone effect ... we're all going "western" LOL

    Chapter 1

    I like the sound of this one! Right up my alley!
  14. Watch this space! LOL
  15. I think there is something similar here where you can get a restricted licensee at 16 (the same age you can get your Learners permit) but only IF you need it for work.
  16. Is that what you would call a boobie prize?
  17. Oh, he's still in town! 😁
  18. Lucky they didn't throw you in the Tower for that one, my friend! 🙂 I also have another error that hasn't happened yet ... yeah, confusing, I know ... but a slight edit to the final chapter of 'Traditions' will prevent a rip in the fabric of time! 😋 The things us writers can get away with sometimes, huh? LOL
  19. @Summerabbacat back in "our day" it was 16 and 9 months for our "L's" and 17 for our "P's" ... and we only had to hold our "L's" fot (I think) a minimum 48 hours. A lot different to now ... "L's" at 16, "P's" at 17, and 100+ hours in your log book before you can go for your "P's". Don't tell anyone, but I've stuffed up here, as Levi has turned 16 in year 9 and not year 10! Ooops! If anyone asks, I better just tell them he started school a year late! 😋 MP

  21. -- Chapter 19 -- When he woke on the morning of his sixteenth birthday, Levi didn’t really have any great expectation as to what the day might bring. Birthdays were usually low-key affairs in his old home, with small gifts and usually a good breakfast, then perhaps a special meal, whether that was at home, or at a local restaurant. He had discussed his birthday with his father recently, when Matt had shown him his birth certificate, but he didn’t really expect the day to be any differen
  22. Oh great! More excellent ideas for my stories! Thanks guys! ♥️
  23. @Summerabbacat only you would know these even exist! lol
  24. Oh no, none of that. The identity of the 'victim' needs to be a mystery! That way "anyone" can imagine themselves in the hot seat!
  25. I can just see the posters in the shop windows and the flyers in the mailboxes already!!!!!
