Aw, so sweet. She's not much of a business person, I guess, but definitely a supportive mainstay of her little community. She's built a family. You have to love her for that. Thank you, Barrie.

Thanks so much, Sharron, I was in the mood for heartwarming and Maeve just popped into view. We need more Maeves, I reckon!! Happy Betwixtmas to you. Hugs from us 💛

Sometimes I can be a right softie … and no harm in that!

Hope you’re enjoying these ‘in between’ days, Justin. Thanks for the kind words.

That’s super-kind, Sharron. Thank you for the encouragement. I’m aiming to find more inspiration to turn into short tales in 2026.
