I had a flash published called The Sky Between Us about motherhood. I'm sure many of us write on this topic. I enjoyed reading the chapter.

It's hard to read about grief but we have all experienced it in life. This is a piece both gentle and powerful.

Thanks for posting that. I've also written non-fiction and have been wary about what to reveal/not reveal. My mum died some years ago but I have a grown-up son. I send him my published writing but I didn't send him a piece I wrote some while back about angry mothers.

We've been away in France for 3 weeks in our 2023 campervan - it's the only new vehicle we've ever owned. We are 67 and 70! Had so much trouble with this vehicle due to new technology and over sensitive sensors. So we drove all round France with a red light on the dashboard for the oil!
