Cow Parsley

London history, global narcotics and addiction history, and probably a lot of 80s/90s rural Lincolnshire and Yorkshire nostalgia. Come on in, the water's warm.

    Another One About The NoL (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Please feel free to decamp if you can’t bear any more.People were discussing their memories of him as it’s two years now and this huge wave of grief came at me. Real grief and loss. It felt like the ground opening up.New people have bought his house - lovely people. Huge changes, but needed to be done. Not my business. Apparently I have an open invitation. Probably too soon for me to see those rooms again.Platonic friendships like ours only happen once in a lifetime, I think. I was a girl from L

And every year we had to serve a full English afternoon tea to the veterans of the bomber squadrons. To men who treated us like their own. No pervs, in any way. We had … Read more

    Excerpt

    The 30th of July would have been Dad’s 80th birthday. He died in his 50s so I always remember him as a young man, and I measure my meaningful mortality by his: packing in as much as possible until I’m the same age, then it’s all bonus gravy, baby. I still miss Dad. He had such a strong grasp on world politics and the big picture.

    The One About 7 Years In (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Seven years ago, I received an early morning call from the dog refuge - COME NOW. I slung a collar and lead in the car and ran. An hour later, the NoL and I were at the dog refuge. The manager, Annie, said There is a lot to take on here. So just say if you don’t want her.

You can’t see it here from my shitty photo, but she weighed
