A few of you - but probably not loads - will have read this before but, while I put a few finishing touches to a new piece ready for Sunday, I wanted to post it again, in slightly spruced up form, for those who haven’t.
That was quite a ride.. from the dog to the shagging couple to the pungent odour of a pair of youngs after any sort of festival. Thank you for taking me there
What a wonderful piece of writing! Your refrain of "Once a upon of time on a lane" makes a magic. It connects and it gives different character to your stories and so on... And it creates a poetry of your prose.
I am curious, have you read this Tom Cox’s story? If not, read it, and you will enjoy it as I did. And thank you for noticing my comment. I love you walking in the rain!
Excellent writing - and I loved reading it to the end (of course!). Mini-vignettes of life along the lane. Hmmm. My cat liked it too, leaning against me as I read and now type. We're in the big city, coyotes a few blocks away by the Fraser River, cars on a very busy major street right by our small apartment building... too dangerous to have her outside, I'm afraid. Once Upon A Time On A Lane - I'm ready for more!
Excellent meandering. And a destination fully worth the journey. The roaming cat one begs more questions (not least now wondering how bloody far our Brian goes at night). Also, 'nailing'; what a curiously adaptable verb. Blasphemous thoughts ahoy.
Great read. I had to ponder the naming of storms. I always took it for granted how they were named and never thought about it. The dragon analogy sealed it! 🥰
I listened. Thanks, Tom. It's a nice way to start a morning, not listening to myself.

Thank you!
There is something very magical about English country lanes

À series of lovely lanes. Ta very much, Tom.

Thanks Alexandra!
Enjoyed the audible and the creative idea

That was clever, funny and a nice tie-in at the end. Always a delight to read your work
Highly recommend 1983 to everyone.
This was gloriously nostalgic. Thank you Tom!
Those details that most people can’t see because we are too distracted
And you take us there
to read you we must go really inside the lane
What stays on my body reading you is
as I come back picking up every carefully embroidered stitch of the text
Handmade, with hand-picked specialty lines
From a well-woven fabric
that walks before my focused eyes, accompanying you all the way
Companion field
and in those not so certain and unexpected moments I breathe
✨
I enjoy your writing, Tom. Keep it coming ...

Yes, made my morning too. Amazed at your non-stop 16 mile long sentences that work beautifully, even though I am an asthmatic.
Thanks. I enjoyed reading this over my morning cuppa. How wonderful that "Worm Lane" was "Glow worm Lane. Magical!
