Recent septuagenarian, have been writing stories all of my life but have only managed to publish some since 2005. Now focusing on humorous fiction because anything has got to be better than real life, currently!

“S’important” Constable John sulked.

“I agree, it may well be germane…” The Sergeant began.

“Ah, now, I didner know the Germans were involved”

Well, we seem to be back to Friday's again (largely because of indolence and circumstances beyond my control). This time, Dolly gets some help with questioning Aefelthrith and Gwladys takes on some weighty responsibilities.

"A lovely gentle funny, nostalgic group of stories. From irreverent nativity tales to advice on presents for your man! Loved it. I'll be reading more of this series, hope they're all as funny."

If you're going to have a look at it, this is definitely the right time of year :-)

Yes, yes, I know it's not Sunday but let's pretend for a bit, eh? Maybe Tuesday could be the new Sunday? Anyway, whatever day it is, it isn't a good day for either Gwladys or Aefelthrith, as we will discover:

Sunday - a time of tea in bed or cooked breakfast or a Sunday Roast - or all three if you're particularly hedonistic! This Sunday, it's the morning after the night before, and not everyone's too happy about that.

Next episode of The Further Chronicles...tomorrow. In the meantime, this is where we're up to, with Aefelthrith fumbling in the dark, and getting her collar felt for it!

Sunday - films were always WW2, with John Mills saving the world (with dreadful privations) or John Wayne doing the same thing (sans privations). Now, it's the Chronicles, in which Aefelthrith is embarking on a great adventure! Or is she?

If you've been following the recent adventures of Aefelthrith and Gwladys on @abctales.bsky.social then you might like to take a look at their beginnings:

Sundays! When 'With A Song In My Heart' reverberated across the airwaves to start 'Two-Way Family Favourites'. And here's another family favourite, in which Aefelthrith faces a tough decision and Gwladys has her suspicions confirmed!

Aefelthrith and Gwladys are taking a week off, but they will be back next Sunday. In the meantime, here's where we're up to:

Sunday comes around quickly, as does Monday - but we won't talk about that. Instead, brighten up your Monday Eve with the latest episode from Gwladys and Aefelthrith in which Aefelthrith takes steps (reluctantly) and Dolly makes plans.

"You tugged at my heart strings for poor Gwladys. Aefelthrith doesn't realize how lucky she is having Gwladys to listen to her forever complaining and taking care of her."

f you're from my era, Sundays meant The Clitheroe Kid, Round the Horne and Sing Something Simple. If you were from Gwladys and Aefelthrith's era...well, it would probably be bedtime!

Sunday used to be Songs of Praise, now it's Antiques Roadshow and Countryfile, except on ABCTales, where it's Gwladys and Aefelthrith and, this time, Gwladys finds herself accused and the Watch are dragged in, literally!

Sunday, and this used to be the time of day for the Top 20. Now it's time for Aefelthrith, Gwladys and a cast of thousands! This week, Aefelthrith and Dolly find a common interest and Gwladys is left holding the baby!

Ok, ok, it's a little late on Sunday BUT here it is - the next episode of The Further Chronicles of a Young Lady (and her Maid) and Gwladys, Aefelthrith and Dolly are reminiscing, not altogether fondly!

Sunday is Gwladys and Aefelthrith day and this time Gwladys is trying to show Aefelthrith 'the ropes' until they both get the floor yanked from underneath them!
