They've Bulldozed my Memories!

I don't suppose this will mean anything at all to the majority of people, but if you're also a writer, or simply appreciate a private place, read on.

Years ago, when I used to run a pony-girl club once a month we found an abandoned track deep in the woods to the north of London. It was perfect, flat, secluded and pretty enough to ensure good backgrounds for pictures or film. This was where I gave Lucy Bailey what I believe was the UK's first ever play spanking (as opposed to an acted spanking) to be shown on TV. This was where Penny Birch was first put in harness, inspiring a series that now runs to over 40 books. This was where Jacqueline Masterson and I first hunted zebra-girls, and where I took the pictures for the piggy-girl illustrations in Naughty!. And now...

They've bulldozed it, flattened it completely, turned it into a twenty foot wide track paved with unsorted builder's rubble! I go up there quite often, as it's a lovely place to walk and ideal for inspiration, very calming too, but this time when I turned the corner it was like being slapped in the face with a record breaking halibut. All that remains is the tree with a W carved into the bark to mark the site of the best piggy-girl wallow, and as the track has presumably been made for logging vehicles that'll probably be gone soon as well.

Ah well, at least if I do take the pony cart up there again we'll have a nice smooth run.
