I marveled at the intricate patterns on the gates as we approached Wellington House. The sun had began to sink into the clouds and its orange glow made the gates twinkle. Alan stepped out of the car to ring a bell located to the right of the gates. Another man who looked similar to Alan,Continue reading “Chapter 5: Wellington House”

Chapter 4: The Adventurer’s First Quest
We moved out of the gates onto a winding road with trees either side. This soon made way for a plethora of buildings, all different shapes and sizes. Many had a similar style to that of Waywood house. Though at some point they became smaller, closer together and looked newer. I became increasingly more uncomfortableContinue reading “Chapter 4: The Adventurer’s First Quest”
Chapter 3: No goodbyes
If Mrs Matthews had instructed me to untangle the pile of unfinished sewing projects laying in my drawer before packing them neatly, I may have required more than two hours to pack. Fortunately, propping them into a paper bag was completely acceptable. In fact, neither Mrs Matthews or Mrs Platt were there to give instruction.Continue reading “Chapter 3: No goodbyes”
Chapter 2: The Second Chance
The war ended 9 years ago today and tomorrow, September 3rd, I’ll be turning 14. It doesn’t feel at all like a special day. So much has changed since the war ended. Except for Mrs Platt.

Or in myContinue reading “The Station Clock”

Staycation
Remember the blog about the big red button? You know… the one about the alarm with the button that goes on my wrist and allows me to call for help from a nurse 24 hours per day? Well, when I listed all the reasons i needed/wanted it, I deliberately left one out. Yes, I’ve beenContinue reading “Staycation”
#GreatLittleThings
(Photo description: The sun colors the sly with a deep orange glow as it rises) The above hashtag was invented a few years ago by a good Twitter friend. She realized that life often gets lost between negative events and feelings and wanted to focus more on the positive things. Not only to find balanceContinue reading “#GreatLittleThings”
