Hi Sydney :).
Thanks for the enthusiasm! Maybe I will take it somewhere else one day. At the moment, I just like to wallow a little in the single scene :)

Oh fantastic. I was getting ready to snivel until Ned turned up. Perfick.

[clarelondon]

*hugs*
God forbid I should make you snivel without an upturn at the end :). This story was going in an entirely different direction until I started to type! O_O

Fantastic as always, Clare. You have such a talent for condensing a whole life into a few words. And giving a bright note of hope at the end.

[clarelondon]

*hugs* what a lovely comment, many thanks :). I really like pushing myself to get a scene across in 1000.

I hope you're tempted to submit a story for this year's UK Meet antho????? ^^^__^^^ <----that's a flutter of eyelashes, but I'm not sure I do the puppy-eyes so well. Maybe I can bribe you with wine...

i love how this turns out to be really sweet at the end, and even tho all of brian's memories are kind of harsh, i really like the progression of them and how ned breaks into them with a little hopeful reality.

[clarelondon]

Thanks so much! That was what I tried to get across, how the misery and bad luck seemed overwhelming, but then he was managing to pull himself out of it with Ned's help :)

What a lovely story! And such a hopeful ending :)

[clarelondon]

Thanks so much!
And what a lovely ID you have - I remember Hamble and Jemima well LOL.
