Have you ever … (a short entry into the continuing occasional series of weird and wonderful things that never, seriously, never, happen to me) … posted a very important piece of information where the spelling absolutely had to be correct, and wondered why nothing was working and then someone very kindly points out that you forgot an ‘s’? Nah me neither!
Thank you Nellifant for catching that poor ‘s’ as it flew about the cosmos, untethered to purpose or outcome.

A long, long, time ago, or so it seems now, (probably some time in March) we bought a 20 kilo bag of potatoes as part of our essential ‘on-the-road’ supplies.
No matter how many we used there always seemed to be still more in the bag. It did however, get lighter and lighter, but no emptier. We had mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes, and boiled potatoes, and potato wedges, Mrs Widds used some in her bread, and still, the bag kept on giving.
Yesterday I was determined to uncover the Mystery. And as is the nature of such Mysteries, the ultimate and final Truth could not be found by mortal means.
In the bottom of the bag I discovered five sad and sorry individuals
These five, these final five, were transformed into the crispy topping for a magnificent Shepherds Pie, and that, I thought, was the end of that.
The bag however, had other ideas. After being tied up and set aside for our next top-up shop, I discovered, there was still something inside …
Although I dared not look, and haven’t since, it felt suspiciously like potatoes

Wild strawberries are very tiny, but so sweet and flavourful, that it’s worth going hunting for them. Unfortunately the cooler start to the growing season has slowed down all sorts of wilding growth.
The strawbs here are only starting to flower, and this was the first one we came across …
And flowering with all its might
And upon looking around we discovered the field was full of them …
Tiny flowers with even tinier fruits just starting to show

On the writing front, I’ve completed the first draft of the first three chapters of the next book in the Last Dragon series, ‘The Last Dragon In Time’.
If you haven’t checked out Book 1, The Last Dragon In London, the first two chapters are posted HERE.

That’s it for now, but the Adventure continues.
May your strawberries and potatoes last forever too. 🙂

The everlasting potato bag. Love it! I could live off potatoes alone, so I’m a tad jealous that not only did your 20 lbs last so long, but they didn’t grow long legs or get moldy. Lucky you!

They just got a tad wrinkly towards the end there. 🙂

The bag is quite obviously a portal crossing into The Potato Universe, where potato-like suns orbit around (flat) potato-like planets in swirling potato(soup)-like galaxies. If you find the Broccoli portal them please let me know.

Bravo Widds! I’m thrilled you’re writing. I wonder if book 2 will take shape as quickly as book1 did? Power to your pen, and maybe that elusive last potato. 😀

I hope so. I have a vaguely forming plan of how it’s all going to turn out across the books, but the minutiae might take a bit of work. 😀

We just finished the last of the shepherds pie leftovers … sort of a bubble-and-squeak affair. 😀
