I am not keen on books or films that deal with graphic details of cruelty.

Many years ago, Hazels auntie hired a professional to look into and print out her family tree, when it came back to her horror she realised that one or more of her ancesters were in some way related to or involved with the witchcraft that was supposedly rife around Pendle.
We still have the document but unfortunately hazels aunt has torn off the relatives that she took offence at.
I have always thought that hazel has a strange aura about her.

Taddy, you had better watch what you say she might have a spell or two for you.

'The Carer' in the Kindle format is a bargain at only 99p, so I snapped it up to read on my desktop PC, while I can carry on reading 'Good Samaritans' on my ipad. Hehe! (Not at the same time, of coarse)

I hope you like it Pompeylass, there are some surprises that I did not see coming.
Enjoy.

Marge, she put a spell on me in 1963, when I was 16 years of age and she was was 14 years of age;we have been together ever since.
We married four years later in 1967, the best seven shillings and sixpence for a licence that I have ever or, ever will spend.and that is not Hobgoblin talking.
Oh, but I don't know since I have had more than half a couple.

Taddy, that is lovely to hear.
I put a spell on my man...he even travelled 6 weeks by boat to come back 12,000 miles for us to get together again.
We married in 1966 and have been together ever since...I won't say with never a cross word, because that would be lying.
If we make it to October we will have been married for 54 years and a couple for a bit longer than that(57 years in total).

Three divorces! is that what's known as a triple lock?

Margaret Pilkington · 17-08-2020, 10:34

Yes, I feel very lucky...though no relationship is all plain sailing...it has to be worked on.....a bit like a house.
There are times when I could give his throat a two handed massage, and I am sure that I irritate the bejasus out of him sometimes...but heck it would be boring if we agreed on everything...difference are the salt and vinegar in life.

PS....I was also lucky to have a job that I loved too!

No Taddy, that is a triumph of hope over experience....and maybe a liking for wedding cake

Can recommend 'The Light in the Hallway' by Amanda Prowse, just started another of her books 'The Coordinates of Loss' - so far, so good but the content's a little harder to read than the other one, not that that is a bad thing - means it will last me longer

Amazon have some kindle downloads for 99 pence.....I haven't looked to see what is on offer.
