Writers by Felicity Fox

  For writers everywhere, I spotted this in a doorway in Glasgow today. Writing connects you to the past, present and when we are no longer here. I wondered for a moment about their stories, their lives and their time. And then I walked on to meet my future. Felicity Fox ©

Felicity Fox & The Hound

  Felicity used to be nice. Calm and relaxed, some said she lived in her own wee world. Sometimes that World revolved around her. It was fantastic. Two bairns and one Charlie-Boy later, her life had become one situation after another. Felicity was minding her own business one afternoon, having earlier that day watched, withContinue reading “Felicity Fox & The Hound”

Olympics 2012 – The Torch Came and Went by Felicity Fox

  Like going to see your auntie’s for an annual visit, some chit chat and niceties, that’s what yesterday’s whistle stop Olympic torch tour felt like. They’d probably rather not but just one of those things they had to do. The Olympics hasn’t really captured hearts and minds. And no wonder, with only 1% of contractsContinue reading “Olympics 2012 – The Torch Came and Went by Felicity Fox”

Love – to my friends by Felicity Fox

I’m not going to give you wise words, I know none. Great loves aren’t fairytales, they’re battles. Love is jealous, sometimes cruel and unforgiving. Patience and kindness, words by St. Paul held up as the pinnacle, spoken at marriage. Love – a little word, it means so much. Find it, keep it, and work atContinue reading “Love – to my friends by Felicity Fox”

Adam, Eve and the Apple by Felicity Fox

  In the beginning there was no Facebook and Twitter, and the world was void and the inbox empty. And God said, “Let there be light”; and someone switched on the bulb. “Let us make man in our image and likeness”, and he did. He made an over exaggerated ego and the world revolved aroundContinue reading “Adam, Eve and the Apple by Felicity Fox”

To One Lucky Bastard by Felicity Fox

I wrote what I could not say to my cousin today. I’m using the term “bastard” in the traditional sense, not as an offence. He calls himself a lucky bastard…. To one lucky bastard… As this is not my story to tell, I’m sending it to you my cousin. In a crowded room, you’ve alwaysContinue reading “To One Lucky Bastard by Felicity Fox”

Dear Such and Such

Dear such and such, Thank you for your lovely card. So pleased was I to hear that you’re enjoying yourself and having a wonderful time. Delighted the celebrity haunt is doing well, there’s just not enough of those places coveting the market, riding on the name of a celebrity and staffed by hardworking chefs who’llContinue reading “Dear Such and Such”
