Another Bee

I’ve posted another short story about a couple being kept apart by family neds and prejudice. It’s a theme I find compelling as so many of my age group had to move to find work when the mines closed and the results were unpredictable, making a plethora of opportunities for the story teller. The story is one that I included in Bees in my Bonnet.

I’m collecting another batch, including the O’Reilly stories, which I enjoy writing, but I’m not in a rush. O’Reilly is about to be married to the widow and I need to see how it clashes with his daughter Elizabeth’s wedding, which she will demand to be the wedding of the year. If the widow was pregnant, and the marriage rushed it would certainly clash. I’m not sure if they will be pregnant together and racing to be first, or maybe the widow, being already pregnant, will upset Elizabeth. Enough options to look into.
