Before I begin

Thank you to everyone for the kind words and messages of condolence.  They meant a lot to me.

So, let's start by wrapping up the story of The Red Widow - which fills most of the gaps now in the story of Sarah, Brian and Chloe.  But not all...

We also wrap up The Philadelphia Story, as the Pussycats wreak havoc.

Meanwhile, Amanda Lu wants to tell some stories that reflect As Years Go By.

And talking of years going by, I invite you to investigate The Danish Affair.

Finally this week, a sweet story I call A Winter's Tale.

Apologies to Chase Files fans - it's not quite there yet, but soon.

Next week, as always God Willing - Not A Robbery.

For now, however, I remain,

And your favourite story by me in 2014 was

a tie between The Cabin by the Lake and Not A Robbery: The Office.

Now, time for you to peruse the following photos - and then tell me which you wish to write a story round first.  Take your time and pick wisely.

Perspective

Looking at a situation from different angles can throw new light on records of events.  Take the story in the An Education section last week.  What went through the mind of Jay Edwards and Mrs McPhee when they saw who was at the Cottrell farm?  We find out in Jay Gets a Shock.

Next up, part 2 of The Philadelphia Story shows the scope of Juliette's plan - and how the ladies spend the weekend before gathering.  Let us say it proves - enlightening.

We also have part 2 of The Red Widow from Skybird, and a little tale as Barry Hammond tells Brian Holderness-Carter of a man who respects Considerations.

Now, as those who read my dA page know, I heard this week of the death of my mother.  The funeral is next week, so with regret I have to say there will be no update next Friday.  On the other hand, I cope with grief by writing, so - for example - a new Chase File when I return, and i get ahead on other things.

Until then, however, I remain,

Start your engines...

and here we go for 2015 - starting with the first part of The Philadelphia Story, where we see departures, arrivals, and the Pussycats planning something different...

Next up, Lisa gets a chance to tell a story, as she discovers something Hidden Away that she likes very much...

We also fill in a gap in both the Heidi and An Education storylines, as Skybird explains what happened when Sarah fell pregnant, and how Chloe became The Red Widow.

And finally for today, a special story of what happens when The Panther Returns.

Next week, as always God Willing, more tales of distress - and I just received a new story from Doctor George that will appear soon.

Until then, however, I remain,

End of the year...
