Stuart Ayris - The Truth About Trees
Thanks Patti! I took them out myself on Tuesday!
Just read your latest excerpt...reminded me of home, and spending time at the beach as a child, which I guess was almost every day.
Thank you for taking a look Harrison - I spent alot of time as a child at the campsite I describe - and now my own children love it too!

Oh that is one of my favourite jobs, taking out stitches (or skin staples). Love it!! As I mentioned last night, Nurses are a funny breed :-)
I could see the fun doing it for another person, but on myself??Nope!
Even a psychiatric nurse can remove stitches - although Rebecca wasn't too pleased that I'd used the small kitchen knife...

And there was me thinking that all MH Nurses did was make tea and smoke fags ;-) xx
Then had a glass of wine and a fag. ;)
Hey there lovely, was gonna post this in the morning thread but realised you would probably be the only one interested!!I have been up at the Cricket Club today helping get things ready for the new season (which starts in 3 weeks, yay!!)
Thought I would post some photo's of my second home for you. Here is the pitch (my brother is the groundsman) http://www.goodreads.com/photo/group/...
Here is the Club House and pavilion (both of which have seen better days!!)http://www.goodreads.com/photo/group/...
And here is the Pavilion (the building on the left of the last piccie) back in 1896 (and yep, it is pretty much the same building!!) http://eppingcc.hitscricket.com/galle...
Hope that last link works as I haven't got a digital piccie of that one so linked to the clubs website instead.
I am sure it is no where near as nice as Tollesbury CC but it is home :-)
Is gonna be a weird old season this year. Our Curator (and my Mums Best friend) was found dead last week so the whole club is in total shock. Hopefully they will make it a good season for him.
Anyways, chat soon. Em x
Great stuff! I have a mate who played/plays for Epping I think - Ed Bishop - ring a bell??Tollesbury CC sadly folded the year before I moved to the village. If ever I come into any money my dream is to start it up again!
The name does ring a bell but I am pretty sure that he played for Epping Forresters CC. Epping is only a small town but for some unknown reason has 2 cricket clubs!!Our little club is possibly having to move which is such a shame as it has been where it is now since the 1800's. I am just glad that my Grandad is no longer with it enough (dementia) to know about the move as it would have broken his heart!!
Hey Stuart, you now have 50 5* reviews for Tollesbury Time on Amazon UK.

And I'm moving up the Reviewers Ranking as well - now at my highest ever level - 5641th!
Glad to hear the live event over there went well for you Stu.
Nothing to apologise for Jud!!Just added a review of The Moonstone to my blog - http://tollesburytimeforever.blogspot...
Just added a review of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley to my blog - http://tollesburytimeforever.blogspot...
Great review Stuart. I also read Frankenstein. I had never seen any of the films but still knew, from carry-over into popular culture (comedians, impressionists, et cetera) all about the bolt-through-the-neck stereotype.Instead, I found the very moving tale that you just reviewed, and a sad and lonely creature longing for human contact.
Just added another excerpt from The Bird That Nobody Sees. Over 61,000 words done now. Aiming for 74,000 - looking good!http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...
I love it Stu :-) am so excited for this book x
I just wrote a paragraph towards the end of The Bird That Nobody Sees that made me blink a tear. I guess that's a good sign!
Better get a new order of kleenex in then!
It's got some funny parts in it too so I'm hoping it all balances out!
Ah ok. I'll just use my sleeve as usual then eh?
How you doing, Stu? All better now?
Not really Patti. Aching all over and can't stop coughing. Hardly any sleep for four nights. Going to the walk-in centre tomorrow to see if they can do anything. Cheers for asking though!
Oh Stu. I'm sorry. I was hoping you were all better now as you said you felt a bit better yesterday. :(Sounds like a really nasty bug! I hope they can at least help to relieve some of your symptoms. Your chest muscles must really hurt. :(
Getting there now Patti - cheers!As the writing of The Bird That Nobody Sees is drawing to a close I'm now starting work on the cover. All very exciting!!
I'm very pleased to have just completed the first version of the blurb for The Bird That Nobody Sees. The first version of the cover is also coming on well!
Just updated my blog with the first draft of the cover and the first draft of the blurb of my new novel, The Bird That Nobody Sees...http://tollesburytimeforever.blogspot...
Get thee hence into the Blog Ring, young Stu!
I've looked at that but being a bear of little brain in such technical stuff I wasn't sure how to proceed!!
A bear of little brain? Pooh!
In matters of technology I'm certainly more piglet than owl!
Love the blurb and cover Stu xx and yep, get yourself on the ring!!

Hey, Stu. How's the knee doing? Do you need to get stitches removed or anything?
