This work has reached the exceptional level

Another great chapter, Sandra. You managed to include enough detail to set the scene, without being long-winded or boring. This Colin guy sounds like a real creep! I'm looking forward to hearing what he's got to say for himself.

What a dilemma. Grant obviously suspects his half brother of stealing Tanya's plans, but how to handle it, without causing world war three, and alienating a family member, is not easy. Add to that, his obvious attraction to Tanya, it makes the situation even more complicated. I don't envy his problem, but I'm sure you'll help him work it out!

I so enjoyed this chapter! You have the ability to bring the reader into the space, which allows one to identify with the characters and bond with them. As always, I can't wait for the next chapter - well done, my friend, it's building momentum without giving the plot away!

Toby the Chimney Sweep by sandramitchell

I loved and hated this at the same time. I loved it because it was such a magnificent piece of poetry, but I hated that it made me cry. I've never thought about children dying in chimneys before, and your poem has made me realise there must have been many who died in such a horrible way. Bravo, Sandra, for not only writing such a wonderful poem, but reminding us how lucky children are these days!

Another super chapter, Sandra, and one that has me anxiously waiting for the next. These two obviously fancy each other, but I get the feeling the journey is going to be a rocky one! I'm still intrigued regarding the plan swindle, and look forward to seeing how you unravel the mystery behind it.

I was so looking forward to this chapter, and I wasn't disappointed. I loved the comradery between Tania and Monica, and could see the whole scene play out like a movie in my head. I'm assuming Grant's shady half-brother is Tania's ex, but I can't wait to find out for sure!

Superb! Beautifully written and full of surprises. Of course, I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park, but I could never have anticipated the end of this chapter doing such a U turn. So how's that happened? We all know Tania wouldn't cheat because she's a good guy, so how could she have replicated somebody else's style? I can't wait to find out!

I've been so looking forward to this, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The only problem is, I don't know where Mildred is going to fit in! Joking apart, you have left me anxious to read on and find out what happens at the interview. Don't keep us waiting too long!

Exceptional

Last, but not least! I'm just sorry there are only 26 letters in the alphabet because I've thoroughly enjoyed every one. The short, but to the point poems, followed by such beautifully written explanations of each species, has resulted in six months of delightfully educational entertainment. Praise too for Graham - his paintings are delightful, and perfect to compliment each chapter. Now on to your new book - yippee!

Well, boys will be boys, so it doesn't surprise me that the male Yaks herd together. The fact that they're herbivores makes me like them even more, and they're not as big as I thought, so sound as placid as your average cow. Here's hopping their numbers continue to increase and they will never go the way of many and become extinct.

Well done, you, for another fascinating post, and congrats to Graham for another excellent piece of artwork. What a team!
