The Orange Grove
Kitty peddled as hard as she could feeling a rush of excitement as she veered off the wide chalky path which ran alongside the Rio Segura, taking the narrow offshoot leading down to the orange groves, eventually coming to a shaky halt and straddling the bicycle to admire the breathtaking view. A backdrop of mountains gave way to acres of arable land, fields planted with artichokes, others with broad beans and others she didn’t recognise. In between were olive trees and in the forefront and surrounding her, orange groves. Rows and rows of evenly planted trees laden with fruit.

Life's a Bitch and Then You Die...
As I get older, I think about the unthinkable more and more. What are the options? I don’t want to be buried so that just leaves one option really, to be burnt to a cinder or cinders, to be precise. Except this Cinders won’t be going anywhere, let alone to the ball.

When the Sun Kissed the Moon
When the sun kissed the moon on its way back from heaven To slake its mighty thirst on the perpetual vigil she keeps Observing worker ants scuttling and scurrying this way and that

I Did These 5 Things and the Results Were Mind Blowing
We have all suffered over the past couple of years, some more than others. The loss of loved ones, financial instability, loneliness, and mental health issues, to mention just a few.

How do you Know if You’re Dating a Narcissist?
It’s not like I was a naïve teenager. I was in my late forties, and having lived and worked abroad for many years, considered myself worldly-wise. I still can’t believe how I got things so wrong.

Post-Surgery Here's What I Learned About the Difference Between Men and Women
Pre-op, I would whizz around our house cleaning, collecting washing as I went, dusting, and attending to a myriad of jobs that constantly needed doing in a busy household. Except our household is not that busy; there are just the two of us. But still, there are a ton of household chores that need doing regularly. Cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, changing beds, watering plants and the list goes on. We all do them without a second thought.

Christmas Eve
Snowflakes drifted down from the leaden sky as Holly drove through the commuter traffic, an eerie light playing tricks on her as she watched, mesmerised by the flakes fluttering gently down and settling on the road ahead of her. She felt like she was in a snow-globe.

The Red Velvet Dress
Doreen folded the exquisite dress neatly and gently placed it back into the tissue paper wrapping before carefully laying it into the beautiful box where she kept it. She had only worn it once for her daughter’s graduation all those years ago. Where had the time gone? She hoped to wear it again, one day.

A Prize Worth Fighting For
Staring out across the ocean, I saw no point in my life. I drew another cigarette from the pack that I had bought with my credit card. I wanted to die.

How I Coped with Menopause
Every woman handles menopause differently because it affects us all in different ways. Hot flushes and night sweats I only ever got hot flushes at night and although uncomfortable, I didn’t wake up in a pool of perspiration, as a good friend of mine had happen to her. She regularly had to change the bed sheets because of her night sweats. Mine felt like not getting enough air and having to flap the duvet up and down to create a light breeze (not ideal for the person trying to sleep next to you!)

Have You Ever Been Bullied at Work?
It was the end of my career as I once knew it. Is it really worth all the effort? I have always been a conscientious employee and will go the extra mile. It’s just the way that I am.

How a Complete Stranger Saved my Life
When I stepped nervously into the ordinary-looking house, I had no idea what impact the stranger living there would have on me. She changed my life.
