AN ECHO OF VALENTINE'S DAY SENTIMENTS ( Or is it a hangover? )

Foreword. Yesterday on my poetry blog, I posted a poem bearing the same title as this story. This, like quite a few of my other stories, had its origins in a poem, for so often a poem is merely the germ of an idea, and if I like it, I enjoy rounding it out into a story. Some time in the near future... Sign in to see full entry.

MISS JANE : PART FIVE

Once more, I’m afraid I have to send a generic “ thank you” for all you nice comments. I’m not all that well at the moment, I’m afraid, and I do get tired quite early in the day, so my window into Blogit is quite a narrow one. I just read a few people ( my usual twenty ) and try and keep up with my... Sign in to see full entry.

MISS JANE : PART FOUR

Mr Wainwright’s voice was a soft, deep countryman’s burr, and his broad face wrinkled with concern, as he said “ Yes, we were just waiting for you, Miss Jane. ” The, laying a large gentle hand on her shoulder, he said, “ He was a good man, your Gerald. One of the best, and he’ll be sore missed in... Sign in to see full entry.

The long summer school holidays coincided with the hop picking, and Jane supplemented her modest teacher’s salary with work in the hop fields. Twice a day, she accompanied Mr Wainwright, the farm bailiff, as he made his tally; measured the amount of hops in each bin with a bushel basket, and her job... Sign in to see full entry.

Foreword: We used to go hop picking in Kent every year from when I was a toddler until 1945. Miss Jane.

I REALLY WANT SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS, FOLKS!

I’m not posting part two of Miss Jane today, as I intended, because there is a far longer version, ( almost 17,000 words ) which I guess will make a nice long serial! So, If I think there'll be enough interest in the project, I’m gonna give it a coat of looking over, and split it into appropriate... Sign in to see full entry.

A NICE NEW LOVE STORY : MISS JANE, PART ONE

The question is: how much of this is autobiographical, and how much pure fiction? For reasons that’ll become obvious to you, this first part is a short one. Miss Jane. As Sophie alighted from the school bus, she could see her grandfather standing in the tall bay window of her house, and smiling, she... Sign in to see full entry.

LEST WE FORGET : THE CONCLUSION

Foreword. On the 28 th September, 1941, the Nazis, and their Ukrainian police auxiliaries, rounded up over 33,000 Jews in the city of Kiev, in circumstances, and with a brutality, that far exceeded anything written in this story. The Jews were marched off to a yar – a ravine – outside the city,... Sign in to see full entry.
