This is a wonderful read. Beautifully written with lots of humour, despite the subject matter. It made me simultaneously laugh and cry at one point. I didn't even know that was physically possible!

'Buying a Christmas present for anyone special?' Betty's eyes twinkled with malice.

Clutching hold of the counter in "Men's Haberdashery", Enid forced a smile. 'Pa does love a cotton hanky.'

'Oh, Enid. I should have known.'

Enid gripped the small, leatherette box hidden in her pocket. #WriteCBC

Jane settled down on the sofa and wrapped her hands round her mug of Chai tea. Warming and fragrant. Then she saw her shelves; the books presenting a jagged profile, no longer aligned with the edge. As she stood to look closer something blew down her neck. Her spectral visitor hadn't left. #WriteCBC

Thank you very much. 😀 I really enjoyed your prompt and it's got me thinking about the secrets my characters could have in my wip and, importantly, what those secrets reveal!
