I too am mystified by the ‘Candy Bar’ but the tale is thought provoking and very readable. I’m intrigued by Jack - is it something in the water that intrigues me - could there be some benji-benji link? also is there any chance that the ‘T’ shirts be made available 🌈👕🌈

Well … The older brother has, at last, told his younger sibling the truth about his view of the family relationships. A few questions spring to mind, will Sam surface before the funeral? If so will he manage to turn it into a pantomime? How will he explain his change of circumstances? will Mother be able to cope with the situation? Is there a will and who get what? At least James has a pillar of strength beside him, and also some access to possibly good legal counsel. Thank you for this tale of complex family relationships, I’m enjoying reading and thinking of what may happen next.

Not just Sydney! There are areas in most big cities where this applies. It would be great if the ‘empire’ of pubs / hotels that it would appear that are in the company’s control could be a chain of gay friendly establishments. Where the likes of Natasha would be banned!

I feel it’s about time that Ben informs his siblings of what he has learned from his father as to the divorce settlement and the child allowances that they may not have been given - amongst other things!

By the names and certain relationships - I can see this excellent story - finding a link developing to the:- ‘What brings us together’ series of tales also by Paladin. I may be wrong, I hope not! I think they would over time dovetail well together and leave the field open for even more linked tales for our pleasure. —- Thank you for stimulating old brain cells.

A great story. Very emotional in places, dare I say - tear jerking - at times. I can only wish that it could continue but all good things must come to a conclusion.

A wonderful, beautifully written, chapter. brought tears to my eyes as I remembered a love that I lost years ago. Now at 80 I still miss him…

Another layer on the glorious canvas, hope the exhibition proves successful, also that soon we hear that ‘PC Plod’ has come up with some gem of colourful information that the ‘scientists’ failed to find - proving that old time policing is not a forgotten art. keep painting this rainbow tale - I’m enjoying the ride.

An intriguing first chapter, much angst, but a feeling of a recently developing relationship. i liik forward to how, what assume will be, the trip into past places and relationships, will reveal past experiences and hopefully cement the current relationship.

A loving conclusion to this episode in the lives of two abused youths, and the loving environment that enabled them to come out of that experience as stronger and hopefully stable young men. i do hope that there will be further episodes of this ‘Tale of several families in one’ There are many ‘loose ends’ that can be picked up - intentionally I expect - and hopefully we will read more chronicles of life between Sydney and Stingray Heads. Thank you for writing this gripping tale . .

What an emotional chapter in this, already tear jerking, story. Now the scene is set for the two young couples to progress to wards their goals in the surf and art worlds. As a plus we get a tantalising insight into the information that the police have unearthed. Maybe there are other acquaintances from past events that the two brothers may be able meet and show that their traumatic past can be overcome with love and support. Thank you for this great chapter.

A wonderful chapter.. What a great outline of Islam a true religion of love and respect. Many people only view Islam from the actions of a few ‘hot heads’ who take a few verses from the holy book, out of context, and use them as an excuse to wage a religious war, much as the ‘Crusaders’ did in earlier times, allegedly in the cause of Christianity. i have worked with people of many faiths and have found that, in general, they all boil down to a great respect for the earth, other people and their God. if only politicians would also show such respect.

I was more thinking of Kevin - possibly moving to Sydney in the foreseeable future…

Another great chapter, just as we were thinking all was sweetness and light.. .. Along comes the long lost sister, pining after dear uncle Phil.. I’m wondering.. is that horse that bolted in contact with her, or maybe she is the European distributor of the porn, or both?? Thanks for another great read, I only hope there’s not too long a wait for further developments, - Exam results are on the horizon..

An upset Horse?
