I want Joe to leave Michael and go to his own time also, and since chocolate is the answer to ALL problems, I'm sure it will work. I can't wait to see if it does. I enjoyed reading.

Good work on this part, Sandra. I continue to enjoy your story, how you explore your options and make sense of a complicated situation.. Good interactions between the family members adds to the realism of the story.
Good luck with your project,
Russell

Comment from Pam (respa)
-A cute picture, Sandra.
-This chapter has a lot going
on as the characters are
trying to work on solutions.
-It flows well as they do so.
-Ver. found that the church was
near Joe's cottage, so hopefully that
will be helpful.
-I liked the section on the chocolate,
and how they plan to have Michael help
make it to try and reach Joe.
-I also like how Mildred shared her idea about
the recipe and Mr. Fry.
-We have to wait and see what works out,
but hopefully something will soon for Michael's sake.

Thank you, my dear friend. Yes, something has to happen soon, Veronica doesn't like the situation with a grown man inside her son. (That sounds so creepy!) Mildred will be her stabiliser and help do whatever is necessary. Lots still to come. Not saying anything more at the moment! LOL. Big hugs, my friend, for the fabulous review and all the shiny stars. :) Sandra xxxxxx

You are quite welcome for the stars and review, Sandra. Yes, that situation with Michael does sound creepy. I think there is a great team of Ver., Mildred, and James.

Hello Sandra,
Another fine addition to the book.
I like the way you intersperse the everyday activities of life
with the fantasy aspects, making the fantasy plausible.
The simple act of redoing a ponytail, mirrors the search for information
to pull different strands into a form of order.
The library, with its old smells, is a nice link of present and past.
Don't tell me chocolate is the key to time travel!
I'll start eating more immediately. Let's see, milk chocolate or dark?
I think dark is more appropriate for this story.
{I'll be back as soon as I finish my chocolate bar!)
Ah, that was good. Life is, after all, quite simple:
A box of chocolates, like Forest Gump said.
You just have to be careful of the nuts.
Well done, my friend, an excellent chapter
RS
You know, I wasn't quite sure about the mission church being destroyed in WWI.
There were a few bombing raids, but they were notoriously in accurate in 1918.
But it could have happened.

LOL! I eat dark chocolate, it's my favourite. Bourneville is the best. It hasn't taken me into the past, unless, of course, I'm in my past now!! Wouldn't that be something? But, I think I'd know it. Hmm. The hit on the church was a lucky/unlucky hit! The pilot lost his way and had to get rid of the bomb to conserve his petrol to get home. But it didn't help him, he ran out over the English Channel and drowned! LOL! Thank you so much, Robert, for another lovely review and for the shiny 6 stars! Big hugs. Sandra xxx

Such a delightful story with exceptional characters and smooth pace.
The storyline is quite unique and traveling back and forth in time to solve a mystery is very interrsting.
Terrific writing!
Michael

Aww, thank you, Michael! When I get a review like this from a favourite author of mine, I feel doubly blessed. You've made my day, my friend. A humungous hug for the 6 stars, but your review is still a 10 star to me. :) Sandra xx

I enjoyed reading your wonderful story about toddlers and chocolate and time travel. Your words are well chosen and your story flows nicely. I look forward to more of the same.

Hello, Jill. Thank you so very much, my friend, for the beautiful array of stars!! Every time Veronica thinks she has it all sussed out, so another problem occurs, but I'm sure she'll find a way around it, if she doesn't, I'm stuck!! LOL. Big hugs, my friend!! :) Sandra xxx
Comment from Walu Feral
G'day Cousin.
I'm miles behind as always, but I'm glad I could catch this chapter.
"The smell of the old books on the shelves had always drawn me to them," (I have always loved the smell of libraries and books.)
"Mildred was baking a batch of jam tarts when I walked into the kitchen" (Knock that caper off please... Sheesh! You always make me hungry and feel like sweet food when I read your chapters. I was 85 kilos and when I got the cancer went down to 50. Then I went back to 65 and now I'm back to 58KG. So, If I keep reading, I'll get fat lol. Delia would like that.)
" I thought you said his factory opened in Bristol ... that's miles from here, and back in Joe's time, it would have taken days to get there." (God, I hate logic. It's never been my strong point.)
I wish Tom would give us more sixes, sorry I don't have one.
What a powerful chapter. Perfectly described and once again, the dialogue is outstanding.
Brilliant.
Cheers Fez

Thank you, my favourite cousin! Even though he's not an Amazonian Feral as well as an Aboringal Feral!!!! LOL!
50kg? OMG, I bet Delia was really worried! I know I would have been. So, get eating those jam tarts and put some more weight on, 58kg is still low. That's just over 9stone, isn't it? Have you completely cleared the cancer now? I do hope so, it's a nasty, cruel disease.
Thanks for this lovely review, it's worth more than the 6 to me. Big hugs, my lovely cousin :) Sandra xxx
-
Always welcome, mate.
I have to go back to Australia and have the Bi-annual check up to make sure it's still clear, but the dropping weight again, is a worry. I'll be okay... I'm to busy to die lol.
I have been struggling to come up with enough money to get there... but slowly it's sorting itself out. I think I have a place to stray now when I go. I hope anyway. Motels and things are way too expensive and all my mates, where I usually stay have died, sadly. But, we'll get by somehow.
-
Keep that positive attitude, death would be too scared to come near someone as strong as you. I'll make sure you are top of my list in my prayers. Bigger hugs for you and Delia. xxxx
Comment from nancy_e_davis
The story's never too long when it is interesting and this is. i would guess the nits have all been spotted and fixed by now, I didn't see any. Did you consider somehow Mr. Fry came to Joe's village and found out about the chocolate which was all the rage after Joe introduced it to a few people. Well done Sandra. Nancyxxx

Thank you so very much for the 6 stars, dear Nancy, I really appreciate them and the 10 star review. Big hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx
