Beauty Ties

                                   FIFE I moved back to Fife into my friend Lana's house that she was moving out from. It was a large home and had a beautiful garden. It was perfect for Julia to start school. Things were calm and I started working for SKY. I was on 10am until 10pm shift Saturday to Monday. It was great money and I got a pay rise within the first year. It meant I got full time wage but had most of the week off to spend with Julia. This was the start of a better life in a better place. The home was also occupied by the largest spiders I’ve ever seen. Lana did warn me, but I was just grateful I had a lovely roof over our heads. Julia was loving primary school. Things went quiet for a year. Normality returned, and I was grateful. One night I was on the phone to a friend in my bedroom, catching up.    BANG  Something hit the top of my bedroom door with such a force that I jumped. “What was that?” My friend asked on the phone.  “Something hit the top of my door!”  “Check

EDINBURGH I moved to Edinburgh when I left home age 19. I wanted to get out of my home as soon as possible. I loved the city so much.

I showed it to my flatmate who wanted to read it. I told her about the odd things that happened and how I was glad to be out of the house. A year ha

 My story starts when I was a young child. I was born in Scotland but moved down to Somerset as a child. I loved it so much. I loved the flowers and the conkers I’d collect on the way to school. I remember all the frogs in my garden and how I'd name them. I moved twice down in England. The houses were always large and I’d get the rooms mixed up, trying to remember where to turn to find my bedroom. I would visit London where my relatives stayed. I loved the vibe of London. One visit to my Nans, we walked down to Church Street market and seeing so many interesting people. The one man with dreadlocks holding a large ghetto blaster on his shoulder playing Bob Marley passed me. I couldn’t get enough of the place. One stall had toys on it. I bought some wooden blocks and a handheld electronic mini piano. They were perfect mementos to remember my visit. When we returned to Scotland I unpacked and placed my electronic piano on my bedside table. It had colours on the notes and London Bridge
