Lynne thank you - I am now accountable for writing the series! This one was bloody painful but I had time get it out. And will lead on well to the others- making it a series- Gilly’s recommendation - of course- has really helped me structure. And I thought of your comments ( via Matt Inwood) as I wrote - this is your job, this is not a hobby- get on with it. It worked! Xx
Thanks Gilly - yes this one was really hard and I felt very exposed yesterday as I pressed schedule…but it had to come out and this leads into a lovely narrative and onto the others stories in the series. Planning the next one now!
I can definitely relate to this. I was once left in the car in a really awkward position with another car being blocked in. I wouldn't let the person in to release the hand break as I was obviously told not to let anyone in the car. My sister and I were then bounced up and down to try and get the car to move. One of those memories that get locked away, and as a rule I always park in a car park and pay the fee. Thanks for sharing, alongside the Pavlova recipe which looks amazing.
Yes locked away. Thank you for sharing too! Has taken a long time to finally understand the root cause of my anxiety . And I know nothing to be ashamed about. But I have and it is liberating. I do love a pavlova and I make it with a smile 😊
Oh Sarah, this is just so beautifully written xx
Very touching and courageous to write from the heart about painful memories and what food means to you! Congratulations
Well done Sarah. A poignant piece of writing which took strength to write, but beautiful, and it leaves the reader wanting to know so much more. Xxx

That’s how to find your voice and what you really want to say, to whom and why.
Yes the clarity is coming. Thank you x
