A good shepherd knows when the contest is lost

A love story, from beneath all the rubble

I had a friend called Lucy. Actually, I believe I still do. She slipped into the past tense for a moment there, only because we haven’t been in touch for more than a little while. Friendships, however firm, go that way sometimes. They ebb and flow as years pass.

The royal rule book is thrown away

POOR old Wallis Simpson. How painfully she learned how the best laid plans of mice, men, American social climbers and grasping mistresses so often go awry.
