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)
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

This one is going to kick you in the goolies, hopefully in a good way.When I was a little girl, I was a papergirl and a waitress, in my school white shirt, blue bottoms and school shoes.

I still miss Dad. He had such a strong grasp on world politics and the big picture. He was also brilliant at maths, particularly trigonometry, and tried to teach me algebra with a stick in the sand on Cleethorpes beach. BIG in the sand algebra, but sti

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. She isn’t housetrained and she is fresh out of a puppy mill, and can’t make any more.The moment they brought her towards me, that was it. No question, this is my dog.
