Happy New Year

Happy New Year one and all! May 2024 be an interesting one. I'm hoping to get back into writing more frequently - I've got plenty of ideas but not much time to write them though, so we'll see!

My Grandfather: 9 Nov 1933 - 26 Oct 2023

My grandfather passed away at 2:30 am on the 26th of October. It was not unexpected but still came as a shock. He was a loving, kind, thoughtful man; sometimes stern but always gentle. He had a wry sense of humour and always took an interest in what his grandchildren were up to. He was married to my Grandma for 67 years and 10 months exactly - they were married on Boxing Day. She is now, at 89,

Queen Elizabeth II

Today, the 8th of September 2023, marks a full year since the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for over 70 years, and lived for 96. Few have given so much in service of their country - her entire life was devoted to the United Kingdom and to the Commonwealth as a whole. I wonder whether, in her final moments, she experienced a sense of relief: Of a job well done, a task she

Such Annoyance!

Sorry for the confusion, everypony - despite my attempts to explain to the contrary, the powers that be have decreed that the sequels to Spike Gives Twilight 'The Talk' aren't, in fact, sequels, and are instead chapters of the same story, in spite of this never being the case. So to avoid a ban from the site I have been forced to reupload them as chapters here.

The Heinz Event

Today I have reached that wondrous occasion known to many a pony as "The Heinz Event" - for I now have 57 subscribers!
Thank you so much to everypony who has followed, commented, or even just read my stories. It means a lot to me, and I hope to continue writing for the foreseeable future.
Stay safe, my little ponies!

My Grandfather: 9 Nov 1933 - 26 Oct 2023 · 6:53pm Nov 3rd, 2023

My grandfather passed away at 2:30 am on the 26th of October. It was not unexpected but still came as a shock. He was a loving, kind, thoughtful man; sometimes stern but always gentle. He had a wry sense of humour and always took an interest in what his grandchildren were up to. He was married to my Grandma for 67 years and 10 months exactly - they were married on Boxing Day. She is now, at 89, my oldest living relative, and I know how deeply she will miss him.

Granddad had eight children, twenty-two grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. He had no enemies and was a respected member of the community - he and my Grandma have lived in the same house, deep in the English countryside, since 1958.

I will miss my Granddad very much indeed, and if there is an afterlife, I hope very much to meet him again there.

Rest in peace, Granddad.
