@anna_debenham Loved reading this, Anna. I’ve let my reading slip over the past few years – a consequence of my work, combined with reading constantly to a story-loving seven-year-old! – but your piece makes me want to get back to reading what I choose for myself, time permitting. Thanks.
@RellyAB What everyone else said. It’s great. Clever use of music too. (Though Bluey’s dad shows up the inadequacies of dads (read, me) everywhere by being the most engaged a dad can be. Bastard.)
Tickets for our December concerts, ‘Fairies, Fantasy and Magical Realms’, are on sale! Join us as we cast spells and enchantment in music from Mendelssohn, Sibelius, Debussy, Tchaikovsky and more.

@WebDevLaw *blushes* ☺️ Thank you! We editors like our work to go unnoticed by readers, but love it when authors recognize what we offer. (And did I spot a bit of Nick Drake in there?)
@adactio ‘I dreamed I saw St. Augustine
Alive as you or me
Tearing through these quarters
In the utmost misery
With a blanket underneath his arm
And a coat of solid gold
Searching for the very souls
Who already have been sold.’
