The Car. Top Story - March 2025.
Albert pressed his foot on the clutch as he put the key in the ignition. He turned it to the right expecting, as would anyone, the engine to engage. It didn't. He tried again, pressing on the clutch a little harder this time. Nothing.

A Pandemic Pasttime
If I may: This is something I started writing during the pandemic but, for some reason I don't remember, gave it up after a few chapters. I'd forgottten about it until today, when I unearthed it in a random search of Word files. Is it worth continuing the story? I honestly don't know. If anyone who reads this has an opinion on this quandary, I would be most grateful to know your thoughts, whatever they may be. I have more already written, but should I write more? Thank you.

From Doughal to Shuic
It was the summer of 1960, I was five, and my mother and I went for a visit back home in Ireland. Her cousin, Auntie Bee, lived on a lovely wee farm deep in the heart of Randalstown, County Antrim. It was the absolute best farm ever, and I was - as they say - like a 'pig in shit', being a lover of all things country and rural.
