Good evening
As I read this chapter this evening in the quietness of my accommodation by the sea, I felt that dark, unvisited corners within my heart were being quietly crept into and opened up a crack.

To be ept! Oh to be ept! The episode I produced today failed to save and so I’ve had to use the shorter version which ends at a dramatic rather canine point.
This episode is only for you if you love Trollope, love long rambles about England, or love me so much you could listen to my voice ad infinitum!
Thank you for your kindness, support and loyalty. Email me, please do! Tell me what y...

Hello and a very good Tuesday evening. The Abbey bells are ringing as I write and I feel like my mojo has returned: what a strange thing ‘moods’ are. They descend upon us like heavy cloud, hang about as long as they like, and then vanish. People ask, when one mentions feeling down, ‘what are you down about?’. Well, it’s the cloud you see, you want to say; it&rsqu...

Good afternoon! This is shorter than I had anticipated because I’ve got too many jobs to finish. I hope you enjoy this poignant and (I think) beautifully written chapter in Villette. Have such strong passions ever been described with such tender, delicate care?
Thank you for supporting me. It means the world.
Lots of love
Gretel 🕯️
