Hard to know if it's the quality of your fiction or the worrying nature of the reality that we've just been tipped into is what makes this piece an uneasy read. Here's to hoping and trusting it's the former. x

I felt a few shivers getting it down on paper. Unsettling times. Thanks for reading, Matt x

Ah, Barrie. I laughed. I cried. I'm glad I will be dead soon...

It’s all a bit mad. Truth is weirder than fiction these days! Sending hugs!

I wish this didn't make me smile, even chuckle in places... you've just reminded me of my often inebriated but always loved father, who loved an opportunity to say, ' many a true word is spoken in jest'.

Enjoy your trip, I've just seen your F&F newsletter, the Lot is sooo close to here!

You have to laugh sometimes at these scenarios. If only to prick the pomposity of the political classes!

We were saying that we’ll need to weave in the Aveyron on our next trip!

Oh, my! You gotta cry and laugh, right?

Oh and hope dystopia and fiction stay as far apart as possible.

Great writing. :)

Thanks so much. I know, right. The truth these days is dialled up to the max. The storylines are crazier than anything we could make up!
