Wow Brenda and Benny! Well done on such a sad piece. Such perfect imagery. I imaged myself going through the fun and games as a child then the forrest.. a never ending doomed place.. well done again guys!

Hello guys,

There's something enticing about a woodland. It's a place away from prying eyes, an ideal place for curious teens. Here they can learn many 'adult' things, like how to smoke, how to love and extremes of these two. The former is fine, the latter not so.

Sometimes I look out on my childhood woodland and wonder if I missed out. Should I have been more adventurous, should I have spun that bottle? Like a game, there are winners and losers. I consider myself lucky, I missed out on the game then, but I did live to play it another way.

Well done, a wonderful collaboration. I can see both your styles beautifully woven throughout.

Take care,

Great working with you, Brenda. You are a talented and kind-hearted woman who conveys people stories and their emotions effortlessly in your work.

Really enjoyed this Collab hen I first read it because woodlands bring memories to me.. I always used to go there with my mum, siblings and dogs. Wonderful stuff.
