Before sunrise I had this adventure. Some tit on the allotments shut a Tit in the toilet overnight! 🤣🤣🤣 He was very grateful to be released

If you like your heroes strong and silent, letting actions speak louder than words then Raven Purfoy is your man! If we're lucky, the author might smile on us and show us his face from a drawing she commissioned 🤞

Enjoying a bickie break on the #allotment Took him awhile to give me 'sit' and then facing the wrong way 🤣

One of the things I love about #writing is spending hours crafting your opening sentences. Then you leave the manuscript alone for a few (8) weeks, and when you read them again you see all the words that don't add anything and can be deleted!
