My apologies to anyone who has been wondering what happened to me. I'm pleased to say that it's not due to anything sinister or, for that matter, exciting! Back in February, my aunt, who lived in Spa...

Yes, yes, I quite agree that letting more than seven months elapse between episodes is extracting the Michael more than somewhat, however, we can now finally find out just where Gwladys was going on her mysterious business appointment 🙂 www.abctales.com/story/philwh... @abctales.bsky.social

It's been a while since I was last here and I've had a birthday in the interim, which has a tendency to start various trains of thought. Who better to derail them, than Josiah and Archibald? www.abctales.com/story/philwh...

Then, of course, there's my Undertakers. They became a Collection, all on their own, and it all started with one short story built around one initial silly joke. mybook.to/Undertakers

I seem to keep creating Collections, it's not intentional. I start with one story and it just...grows! Like my stores about growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, for example: mybook.to/Nostalgedy

This week,what was in the garden seems to have set a train of events in progress. Dolly meeting Clarence, in place of Aefelthrith, isn't one of them but it's likely to cause just as much turmoil! www.abctales.com/story/philwh...

This should have appeared over the weekend but, it just didn't feel the right time for anything frivolous. it's not much better now, but... 'Digging' - Dolly gets a message, Aefelthrith gets the hump, Gwladys & 'Arry see what they can unearth! www.abctales.com/story/philwh... @abctales.bsky.social

You know what bothers me (there's quite a list, but this will do for now) if Greenland is strategically important to the U.S., couldn't you say the same, and more, for the U.K. (as a sort of static U.S. aircraft carrier?)

"Where is he going now?” Aefelthrith asked. “Up to his room, I suppose” Dolly shrugged. “His ROOM?” Aefelthrith looked aghast, “Since when has he had a ROOM?” www.abctales.com/story/philwh...

"You need to calm down, there’s no point in getting all knotted up now, is there?” “How dare you? I’ve never had knots in me life, not me, never” The Holly fumed. “Alright, alright, no need to get so…prickly” “Prickly?” The Holly glared, “I’m holly...” www.abctales.com/story/philwh...

“I’d shove that ruddy organ of his where the sun don’t shine!” The Holly said, amidst hacking coughs. “Where’s that?” The Ivy asked, innocently. “Underneath that stand of Scots Pines, over there” The Holly nodded in their direction. www.abctales.com/story/philwh...

Ok, I'm delighted to say that there will be a New Year's Eve short story. I wasn't sure if it was going to happen, and it is still a work in progress, but I'm pretty pleased with it, so far. Watch ABCTales for more :-) www.abctales.com/user/philwhi... @abctales.bsky.social
