‘Orkshire’ Puddings
Dear Frankie, I know that opening presents and receiving gifts at Christmas is awesome, special surprises are hidden in stockings and sacks to find by the fireplace and at the foot of the bed. We are very fortunate people. It’s a brilliant concept, it really is and now you’re older you’ve started to appreciate the …
A Chicken Kiev Behind The Cooker.
Mum and I got onto the topic of food again. ‘How do you mean, ‘lesbian cuisine?’ She slurped. ‘I don’t know love….what do you think lesbians like to eat?’ ‘Well these are definitely lesbian biscuits for a start Mum.’ ‘Don’t be daft, here do you want a plate?’ She nudged, dusting the crumbs heavy handedly …

Technobaby
Dear Frankie, I want you to understand the reasons why I gave you an iPhone 6 at the age of 8 years old. For now, It’s a clock, a calendar and a camera. It’s a TV, a video recorder and a music player. It’s a note book, an encyclopaedia and a diary. When you are …
Good Things Come To Those Who Wait
