Apologies to all

 We're dealing with a family bereavment.  Back next week.

It's only been two weeks?

 Yes, i know - this time it was God's Will.

So let's start with how a Party Day triggers helpful memories...

Jay Edwards has to Watch Carefully...

A family are helped to have some Down Time...

Beauty and the Best spring a Weekend Surprise visit...

Who are the Foot Bandits...

Hush...

Hell comes to the Mothers Circle...

And Madame X's team collect some Collateral Victims...

I will be back, as always God Willing. on the 7th of March. Until then, I remain,

What happened to January?

 Answerrs on a postcard to mistertallandmistersmall@yahoo.co.uk

Let me say one thing first - if you followed me on X, I've left the site after what a certain trillionaire did at a rally.  Those who know me know I will not stand for desecrating the memory of those who died in WW2 - he did.  End of story.

So how can I make it up to you?  Well, how about a tale of Good Neighbours?

Or the tale of A Lover's Meet?

Then there was the time the Selfie Snatcher played a Corporate game...

The Gentlemen Robbers play some Family Favourites...

One family take an Afternoon Nap...

Consider the Colours of my Mind...

The Games Players enjoy a Weekend Trip...

In Their Own Words remembers the After School Gang...

And finally the latest case for the Croonford Detectives...

I will be back, as always God Willing, on the 21st of February.  Until then, I remain,

Welcome to Christmas 2024!

 Okay.  Let me admit it - this has been not the greatest year I've ever had, but here we are, so first of all, be it Chanukah, Festivius, Solstice, Kwanzaa, Christmas or whatever you call this time of year, let me offer my prayers that you get every blessing for the season, and wish you a very happy New Year.

So what do we have?  First, how about a visit that was Worth The Trouble...

Five tales of Modest Maidens...

The story of the Ho Ho Holdup...

Their Coffee Time had an unexpected Guest - the man known as Hell...

The Games Players pay two visits - one linked to the Festival of Light, and one involving a Silent Night...

And speaking of Silent Nights - here is my collection of Vignettes for 2024...

Let us listen to what Simon Says...

And finally, a Seasonal Croonford Detectives story...

A word before I finish - it's a year since I was - removed from deviantArt, and I do miss posting there.   This week, it looks as if the TUG Forum has also been shut down - if any of the admins read this, accept my good wishes.  I posted a while back I was worried for sites like this one next year - that fear grows.

So, I will see you in 2025, as always God willing - but until then, I remain,

 It may be a day late, but see how UBS handle a Thanksgiving request...

I mentioned last week I was going (with the help hopefully of Jennifer) to do some more Pussycat Gang stories - but to do that, i need to show you the full versions of Christmas Time and Whatever Happened To...

The Gentlemen Robbers demonstrate The Calm Approach that works for them, as well as facilitating A Conversation in Time...

The Games Players pay two visit - one with Lap Seats and one where the family plays Dress Up...

Beauty and the Best visit families where the Grannies are in charge...

Jay Edwards visits the Castle...

What happens when you Take Three GILFs...

Being in a wheelchair is No Barrier to this intruder treating you as he would anyone else...

I will be back, as alwys God Willing, on the 13th of December.  Until then, I remain,

A word to my readers.

 Hello.

 

First, I know this is late - again - blame a couple of weeks in my real-world life I could have done without, followed by my annual battle with a throat infection.

 

However. There have been some monumental shifts in the real world this last fortnight as well.  I rarely if ever get into politics here, and when I do it is the context of my stories, but it is impossible not to recognise we may be heading into a very different world in terms of story sites like mine – and that thought, quite frankly, scares me.

 

For example – The Pussycat Gang.  I struggled with Jennifer to write stories for a few years, and part of that was the then current and now future president, and how it made it difficult to picture how they would work in that world.  We had just about broken that and were getting new stories together – and now, we face that challenge again.

 

Don’t get me wrong – there are stories I want to tell of them, of wedding and other matters, but I need to find that voice.  I do, also, have to consider how I can make my stories available in other ways.  So I am saying, now, that if I can get Lulu to behave itself I am going back to some of the earliest e-books I published – The Heidi and An Education books – and editing them, correcting some of the details and also adding some stories that never made it into the collections – and when they are ready, I will put them on my Lulu store and let you know.  Same for The Pussycat Gang – there are some details in the earlier books that need updating.

 

I’m also going to look at doing more collections of my other stories – The Games Player, updating the Jay Edwards book, and others.  If that site ends up a casualty of any changes that may come, then I am prepared.

 

But that will take time – for now, let us press on with some newer stories…

 

Such as when the Games Player enjoys a Sunday afternoon...

An edition of In Their Own Words…

A memory of How I Spent My Weekend…

What happens when Hell descends on another family…

Two men in black call at the same time as Grandma…

A late Halloween tale of the Night of the Witch Hunters…

As always this year, I invite you to Tead a classic story and to Remember Them...

And a new Croonford Detectives Case…

 

I should back, God Willing, at around the 23^rd of November.  Until then, I remain,

Visiting Old Friends

 For example, we have a double bill with the Games Players - one involving a Sunday Afternoon meeting, and one demanding Honesty...

We also have two visits with Mister Tall and Mister Small - one where they brong some Sunshine to two women, and one where they are truly Gentlemen Callers...

Hell comes to visit the boys...

Beauty and the Best visit a Country House...

Spend some time in the Coffee Cellar...

The Selfie Snatcher has fun at the Manor...

Objects of Beauty are faced with the problem of Loose Lips...

And finally, the China Doll Gang don't say Like Daughters, Like Mothers...

I will be back, God Willing, around about the 2nd of November.  Until then, I remain,
