I d...Thanks Ann. Sorry to hear about your mother.<br /> <br />I do think that death is as natural a phenomenon as life. You see it in everything, animate and inanimate, the great cosmic struggle, from galaxies on the edge of space to frogs in the pond. And I suppose it's a mark of how vital and positive the life-force is that death is often so difficult to accept. Not being at all religious, I take comfort from the thought of regeneration after death - the redistribution of your vital force, a reabsorption into the great melting pot of existence. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment, Ann. Very much appreciated.Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-20659427056311962172013-05-12T21:13:01.171+00:002013-05-12T21:13:01.171+00:00It's the end of a life that often, if one thin... <br /> It's the end of a life that often, if one thinks about such things, seems unnecessary.

It was my first attempt at writing a book - or at least, the first time I'd settled down to actually finish something - so I'm relieved it went off all right. The book I'm working on at the moment doesn't have an ambulance in sight - which I suppose is either a positive or a negative, depending!<br /><br />Thanks again for all your support :0) Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-59387859033105042772013-05-08T09:51:41.584+00:002013-05-08T09:51:41.584+00:00Another lovely yet very sobmre story.

I love how you capture the people, the descriptions and the environments. <br /><br />As a slight aside, I've just finished reading Frank's Last Call, and I loved it. I thought it was really well put together, and really a great read. I have downloaded your other books too, just got to get around to them!Ali_Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05898830440339680710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-25047393059929997862013-05-07T14:44:34.904+00:002013-05-07T14:44:34.904+00:00I...er.... yep.

Or coffee. <br /><br />There are some people at work who don't drink tea <i>or</i> coffee. (cough*weirdos*). Mind you, I think I drink too much. My kidneys look like two tea bags...<br /><br />;)Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-34129375564204955622013-05-06T00:51:32.847+00:002013-05-06T00:51:32.847+00:00I am not a tea drinker myself (not a Brit either s...I am not a tea drinker myself (not a Brit either so it's all right) but from reading your blog - and I have read all of it - I would go so far as to say that if there is any common denominator that most of your cases share, it's tea. <br />The great Brititsh bridge between the classes.
