"MarkR" commented on Caducean Whisks's Blog "Woody. The Finale".
There's a post-script, about the dislocation of people and nature, but not an unhappy one. There are other people like Whisks, who care enough to do something to protect and care for animals, birds and wildlife. Destructive, ignorant beings of all ...

Well Whisks, m'dear. It's taken 24 hours after a very brief view yesterday night to read this blog in full and all the lovely comments. I got the gist of it last night and it has weighed heavily all day, but heaviest now. So I sit here, ankle deep ...

Not my genre, but a fabulous competition - inspiring and great deal for the winner. If I were remotely a writer for the younger audience (and remotely funny), I'd be leaping at this brilliant opportunity. Good job!

by Squidge 21 days agoYour post on Whisk's blog made me cry...again...but thank you; it was written from the heart. -
by Squidge 22 days agoHullo! Am champing at the bit for May's competition...!! But don't know who will be setting the topic for this month yet...
-
by Squidge 1 month agoJust thought I'd ask - re the April comp, is it good or bad form to post more than one entry? My current one is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I have a more philosophical one brewing!

by Caducean Whisks 1 month agoYes, cubs are v cute, aren't they? Not seen mine yet - don't expect to until about May but I know they're born because the vixens are baggy underneath - and ravenous. Orphaned/lost/abandoned cubs appearing at rescue centres though. -
by Jill 1 month agoGood morning, Mark. Hope this finds you down off Cloud 9 and back firmly on our Cloud! Good competition theme for April, but I probably won't enter this one, as lots to do before going away at end of April. I shall tune in on our return and look at all the entries and the winner, however. :) Jillx -
by Caducean Whisks 1 month agoChuffed for your win Mark, jolly well done. ... Sorry, getting distracted listening to your wall music. Nice. I'll post this in a while when the song's finished.

by Gerilyn 1 month agoCongratulations on your competition win, Mark and thank you for setting this months. Humour is definitely further up my street than melancholy; I shall enjoy trying to make you smile :D
