Selkie loved reading your war time story.I too grew up in the war altho I wasn't evacuated. War broke out just before my fifth birthday. When you look back it must have been funny watching the men trying to save their whisky. Thanks for sharing it with us. poppyxxx |

Webb I have enjoyed your story and its so beautifully written, every detail is so believable. And one of the nicest things is its very easy to read. No complicated words that only a sclolar can understand. I'm now imagining what the soliciter may have in store. I wonder if I'm right can't wait to find out. Thankyou love Poppyxxx |

Penny have just read your first chapter.It makes me hope my children haven't too many bad memories like you have.But I'm sure they have some. I suppose we would be lucky if we went through life worry free. Am looking forward to your next chapter. They say we all have a story to tell. I'm sure we are yet to hear some happy events unfold at some stage.I can understand well your Mums worries, they had obviously been war time kids and had known many bad times them selves.And I can understand your Dad who may have sounded foolish but he was so proud of his little three wheeler.He'd probably not owned such a wonderful thing before.I had a family near me stuffed eight kids in a motor bike side car at weekends to go camping, people did silly things them days when they were hard up. Keep the writing up it does you good look forward to next chapter love Poppyxxx |

Penny I have just read the first two chapters, in your story. There were so many sad times I now know where you got your courage from and your will to survive. You certainly had hard times more than many see in a whole lifletime and this is only small part of yours. I truly think your Dad just loved you and what seemed silly was just him trying to give you and family happy time. That part made me feel envy I cannot remember my Dad taking us anywhere, it was my Mum who did that. Penny you made me feel all your sadness and pain and yet I felt your joy there too. I am looking forward to next chapters. Bless you and may this be a catharsis for you. love, Selkie |

It shows what you have said so many times that we here are your family and I am very honoured to be called your friend and a member of your family too. It is a story that is written from you heart and I hope as Selks says it will be of great help to you to tell it to us all. You are a very brave lady love Silks xxx |

Penny, What a life story so far!! Trauma, Drama, the works. Silks, More Beryl on the way but just at the moment I've come to the end of what is already transcribed - and have been distracted by trying to help a freind find a cure for diabetes. I found it - just need to sort out the notes and let them have it then I can get back to Beryl. Webby |

David, thank you your story of two well known literary giants is fun to read and shows just how the English and Scots viewed each other, in that time. Maybe some still do who knows. Your words certainly did bring out the feelings of all three men, I do not think I would have enjoyed that visit. Thank you again for sharing your talent qwith us. Selkie |

"Entertaining Dr Johnson"... David thank you so much for this which I read with great delight and interest. These two are rather dry and pithy in the general history accounts but this made them spring from the page in all their glory. i could imagine them both with poor James in between.. what a difficult situation for all concerned although I cant help but feel the two senior gentlemen enjoyed their exchanges! Thank you David very much  |

Blod, Your words about the Samhain Fire remind me of days long by when Sahmain appeared in may books I read. Mother is true if you cannot fing her within yhou never will without. Thank you for this lovely reminder of beliefs that are still flourishing in this world. One should never decry what one does not understand. Blessed Be, |

Thank you David, for showing us what many have forgotten, and some never knew, Clydeside Shipyards for us in my generation were one of the Main Industries in Scotland. Those planes I stood and watched with my Dad in WW11 wee heading fot the Clyde to destroy one of Scotland's Proud Industry. I remember being told once in every ship out of the Clyde there is a Scot in the engine room. Thanks again for the names Denny, John Brown and many others. I doubt Glzasgow will ever forget. Selkie. |
