“M & M” by Estelle Westley

"You have to eat your ice-cream before it melts if you buy it in cone form. I think you should have ordered yours in a cup!"Startled, Mae was brought back to the present. She felt someone blotting out her sun. All she wanted to do was spend a day in the sun. She thought of Herold's Bay beach as her own and here was some stranger remarking on what was obviously happening to her and her ice-cream. She had spent the day on her beach engrossed in her book. Mae placed her bookmark on the page she was reading and slowly c...

“My Proposal” by Estelle Westley

When Robert had asked to marry me all those years ago, I was on cloud nine. There were great expectations of the life ahead with wonderful dreams. A house where Robert would come home to each evening. Two rosy ...

“An Encounter - Estelle Westley” by Estelle Westley

"Hi sonny - where are you off to?" Drat my luck to find Mrs Henderson here at this moment. He had heard of Mrs. Henderson. Darren rolls his eyes but not so that Mrs Henderson can see it. There are some folk that steer clear of her when she starts jabbering. She sits with her shopping bag folded on her lap and looks at her watch. Darren had to take the bus today, his car wouldn't start.

“The Grand Old Lady.” by Estelle Westley

There is a puff of smoke in the distance, I hear a rumble along the tracks, then the whistle - a warning that a train is approaching. At the bend in the track I see the outline of the approaching steam train. She is beautiful and majestic and her driver is proudly leaning out the window. A smile on his face.  Along the platform the passengers chat about the trip at hand. It will be a week of chugging through the f...

“Just Perfect” by Estelle Westley

 As far back as I can remember, Grandma Bailie never wasted anything.I loved her with all my heart and spent every moment I possible could with her because she had so many beautiful stories to tell.She lived with everything in abundance as a young girl but her parents made her account for every penny spent and every moment lived. Their thinking was that just because you were privileged did not mean you were allowed to be wasteful.

The beauty of the silence made their hearts peaceful.The night was so brightly lit with stars that they had made their way from the main building with no flashlight.'Do you remember the first time we set foot here on the farm?' Emma asked. 'We were glared at by the agent when we insisted on walking down t...

“Two's Company” by Estelle Westley

He is later than usual but as I am the last person to always know, what does he care. Sometimes I wonder why I am here. He rarely takes any notice of me.I suppose I can't complain. I have it pretty comfortable here, much better than Ginger next door. I feel for her. She has really lengthy spells where she is all alone. I really don't mind her coming over and sharing with me. I hear his car now, let's see how long it takes for him to notice that I'm around or will I have to be the one to make first ...

This morning there was a buzz in the air and more coffee addicts around than usual, creating a buzz that annoyed Amanda.Sally put a coffee in front of Amanda, she never changed her morning ritual of coffee f...
