You can't beat a good editor… Sadly, it's not legal to beat a bad one. Really hard to fathom how this would work without Poppet. Or even why someone would think that.

You write so good!

Thanks Jon! I think she just found Poppet very silly... who knows what she thought, really?

What a great read on a Monday morning, and I really cannot imagine this story without Poppet. Poppet is it's soul! Anyway, reading this I've got the urge to go and write now. See you!

Your editor was wrong: Poppet is right. ‘More miles of canal in Birmingham than Venice.’ That took me back. How many times did I hear that growing up (not in Edgbaston)? Nice one, I enjoyed that!

Loved it Georgina. You are absolutely right - it wouldn't have been as good without the Poppet stuff. Plus, I hate rice pudding and nasty mothers and your descriptions of both and the way you weaved them in made the story.

Free Poppet

What was that editor thinking?

Difficult to express how your writing affects me— glad you are able to republish your work your way!

Quick side note: in a previous comment I failed to mention your wonderful photography as one of your many talents! Ma’am you are so chock full of inspiration

Many Thanks
