Hello Elizabeth … this is Fred … first time call.

I just wanted to say thank you for recently choosing to follow me. I have clicked your follow button in the hope that from time-to-time I’ll be able to see and read some of your own stuff.

This 'Cuddly Duck' story is my first read of ‘yours’, and I gave it a clap and this comment to let you know how much I enjoyed it.

When you mentioned (at the end) that you had asked your daughter's permission (and that she said 'OK', and remembered the occasion with joy). It reminded me of one of my own stories that was also based on something my daughter did several years ago - and joyously re-shared the experience with me. If you have time to read it, here's the link:

I wish you well with your own writing.

I like your pic of the girl & goat ... I presume that's you (then!) ... not the goat of course!!

May your day be just right for you … all the best to you and yours,

Fred

👍😊❤
