I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it.

Thank you for reblogging this, Uta. Very moving and beautifully articulated, he describes the state many people are in and going through.

  Yes, Cat, I thought too, this is a very well written, moving piece. I am looking forward to reading some of Bradley’s books. ‘Ghost Species’ is his most recent book. Maybe I should start with this one. 🙂
