Hey Guys and girls!

It’s been a while, I think it’s safe to say I’ve given up writing it was fun but my heart just wasn’t in it anymore.

I have left a ton of fics unfinished and I’m sorry. 💜

About a year ago my mental health took a nose dive to the darkest pit of hell to the point I wondered if the world would be better off without me 😭 if it wasn’t for my kids, hubby and best friend, I wouldn’t be here today that’s why I am eternity grateful for them 💜

Until an about a few months ago I was ashamed to admit that to anyone outside those who knew, now I realised saying it out loud doesn’t make me weak it makes me strong because I didn’t let those demons win, I came out on top. I found ways to cope in crystals, exercise and reading - reading being the main one to pull my out of my own head!

I am on my 13th book this year, I’m stocked myself 🤣 I created a bookstagram if you want to follow more or even just message to talk, I’m just getting used to posting on there so pleeeeease bare with me 🤣 I honestly don’t know if I will ever get back to writing but never say never! I hope you are all ok and sorry for the life story 😂

Final words : Mermaids don’t lose sleep over an opinion of a shrimp! 🧜🏻‍♀️🦐 💜

Love Pixie 😘💓

You are so strong, don't let anyone even yourself say different. To ask for help is NOT! SHAMEFUL, it goes to show that you are determined to get better. With Love from friends and family, and hell even strangers will get you back to where you just might be comfortable with yourself. You take care of you, and when or if the feeling inspires you to write again, then you do that. Love ya. Be well. Box is always open to say hi or rant or just to blow off steam.

[pixie88]

Thanks @kingliam2019 it means a lot! 💜

Young Elizabeth

By Nicola Tallis

In the 16th century, kingdoms and the people who ruled them were not so different from the plot lines of some of the world's trashiest novels and day time TV shows (Days of Our Lives in particular).

Nicola Tallis has thoroughly and qualitatively researched the world in which the infant, future Queen of England was born. She has also expertly identified and described the people who surrounded and influenced the young royal's life.

To properly understand the world in which Elizabeth Tudor was born and raised, Tallis makes the obvious point of referring to her father, King Henry VIII.

The once allegedly "most handsome prince of all the European courts" turned "fat and syphilitic" Tudor king had six wives and three surviving, legitimate children.

Tallis examines the roles all six wives played at court and in the developmental years of Princess Elizabeth:

● Katherine of Aragon, the Spanish infanta; wife of Henry's older brother Arthur (the intended future king) turned widow and the devoted mother to Princess Mary. Divorced via the schism from Rome and formation of the Church of England.

● Anne Boleyn, the salacious and cunning lady-in-waiting of Katherine of Aragon, who became the target of dislike from the King's Council. She gave birth to Princess Elizabeth, much to Henry and England's disappointment. Anne was the subject of a fabricated witch-hunt and after a period of imprisonment in the Tower, was swiftly beheaded by an expert French executioner with a sword instead of an axe, a final kindness by her horrified husband.

● Jane Seymour, another lady-in-waiting and far more demure than Anne, gave Henry and England the greatest gift of all, a son, Prince Edward. Although, she died just eleven days later.

●Anne of Cleves, married sight unseen and divorced on the grounds of an unconsumated marriage and ugly beyond words.

● Katherine Howard, vivacious and outgoing, she was found to have carnal knowledge prior to her marriage to the king (not a virgin) and thus, her head rolled ...

● Katherine Parr, intelligent, pious, caring and devoted, wife number six survived her bloated and bad tempered king.

Tallis highlights the Wyatt Rebellion, predatory motives of Thomas Seymour, Edward's ascension and premature death, the Jane Grey scandal, Mary's ascension and scandalous marriage to Philip of Spain, the ongoing battle for her legitimacy to be formally restored and recognised, Tallis covers it all, expertly.

It did take me a while to get into it, but once I did, it was an easy and exhilarating historical read. For that, I will deduct a star from my final review.

If you are interested in Tudor history, this book is a must!

Reader's Review: 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

STEPPING UP MASTERLIST

please let me know if you would like to be added to a tag list

“Hey Bee” Henry says, holding his phone to his ear with his shoulder as he stirs the beef and vegetable stew currently cooking away in the slow cooker. He’s been looking forward to this all day, even baked some fresh sourdough to go with it.

“Uncle Hen… can you… come get me… please?” Poppy, his 16 year old goddaughter, gasps between sobs, making his stomach go cold.

“What’s wrong sweetheart, what’s happened?” he asks, quickly putting the lid back on the crockpot and switching it to the ‘keep warm’ setting as his heart starts to race. If something’s happened to his little bee…

“Mum n’ Dad… hate me… kicked…I can’t...” she stammers, sounding like she’s barely able to get any air, making him panic even more.

“Pop, sweetheart, I need you to stop and breathe for me, I can’t understand you…” he tells her, trying to keep his voice as calm as he can so she doesn’t panic even more.

He lets out a quiet breath, relaxing slightly when he hears her starting to take long, deep breaths

“That’s it Pop, good girl… talk to me, what’s going on?” he asks, starting to look around for his wallet and keys. He could have sworn he put them on the kitchen table after his run this morning.

“Mum and Dad… kicked me out” she tells him, making him stop in his tracks.

“They what?!” he half yells in shock. There’s no way she just said what he thinks she did.

“Uncle Hen, they called the police… I’m scared” she whispers, her voice cracking. It makes his heart break as anger boils to the surface. He’s going to kill her parents.

“Poppy, I’m coming. Stay on the phone with me sweetheart” he says, finally spotting his wallet and keys on the buffet in the corner of the dining room.

“O… OK… please hurry” she begs as he grabs his keys and bolts out the door.

“Poppy!” Henry calls out as he opens his car door, his heart pounding in his chest. He’d spent the 15 minute drive to get to her filled with rage, his knuckles turning white from how tightly he was gripping the steering wheel.

He can’t fathom how, or why, her parents could do this.

“Uncle Hen” she cries, pushing past the female officer standing in front of her and racing over to him, leaping into his arms.

“I’ve got you sweetheart, you’re ok” he tells her, cradling the back of her head as she buries her face in his neck and breaks down.

“Please don’t let them take me Uncle Hen… please” she begs, holding onto him in a vice grip.

“No one’s taking you anywhere sweetheart, I promise” he whispers, rubbing her back as he watches the female officer from before slowly making her way over to them.

He prays she doesn’t say he can’t take Poppy home with him.

“Hi, I’m PC Daniels” she says quietly, looking at him with a sympathetic smile as Poppy lets out shuddery breaths, trying to calm herself.

“Henry, Poppy’s godfather… what happened??” he asks, running his fingers through Poppy’s hair and gently massaging the back of her scalp the way she loves.

“I’m not exactly sure. My partner and I responded to a call of a domestic dispute and when we got here she was on the front steps hysterical. My partner’s inside talking with her parents now”

“They don’t want me anymore” Poppy mumbles into his neck before resting her head on his shoulder and looking up at him, her face all red and puffy.

“Oh Bee” he says sadly as he gently sets her down, brushing her hair out of the way as he looks at her heartbroken face, all red and swollen from crying.

“I… I got home from football practice and Mum and Dad told me to pack my bags and get out. They’re done, they don’t want me anymore” she tells him as tears start welling in her eyes again, her chin quivering as she tries not to break down again.

“You’re going to come home with me” he says, wiping the tears away before quickly glancing at PC Daniels out of the corner of his eye and letting out a small sigh of relief when she nods.

“Let’s go get a bag packed” PC Daniels says, giving Poppy a soft smile as she holds her hand out towards her.

She just stares at it for a few seconds before looking at Henry with worry all over her face.

He doesn’t blame her. Her world’s just been turned upside down and she didn’t know what to think

“It’s OK Bee, I promise” he tells her as he kisses the top of her head, his heart aching at seeing her so scared.

She nods and cautiously takes PC Daniels’ hand, following her inside just as her parents come out with another officer.

Henry watches in anger as she shys away from them, almost cowering in fear.

“What the fuck Richard?!” he demands as soon as Poppy is out of earshot.

“Hen…” Richard says cautiously, almost like he’s trying to calm the furious 6’1” man in front of him.

“NO! SHE’S SIXTEEN! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” Henry roars, his chest heaving as PC Daniels’ partner steps in front of him, blocking him from getting to Poppy’s father.

“I was out of the house at fifteen, she needs to be independent sometime” Abigail, Poppy’s mother, says with a shrug.

“Are you fucking kidding me Abi?! Your parents neglected you so you’re gonna do the same to your daughter?!” he snaps, his blood pressure rising by the second

“It’s not neglect” Abigail replies definitively, crossing her arms.

“Oh I’m sorry, I worded it wrong. CHILD ABANDONMENT!” he yells, making Abigail stumble back in shock at Henry yelling in her face.

“Hey! Don’t you dare speak to her like that” Richard snaps, making Henry let out a low growl.

“OK, let’s take a step back and calm down, I really don’t want to have to arrest you” PC Daniels’ partner says, quietly enough that only Henry can hear him.

“You’re a pathetic excuse for a mother Abigail, and you Richard… I don’t even know who you are anymore. Don’t bother coming into work tomorrow, you’re fired. This friendship is over. You disgust me” Henry spits towards the man he’s known for over twenty years as his daughter comes out with a large duffel bag over her shoulder.

“Hey Kai” Poppy says quietly, kneeling down and fussing over the Akita bouncing around excitedly at the appearance of one of his favourite people.

“You hungry Pop? I made that beef stew you love” Henry says as he sets her bag down in front of the entry stand before putting his keys and wallet in the tray on top.

“No” she says quietly, shaking her head as her stomach lets out a loud growl, betraying her.

“Are you sure?” he asks, raising his brow at her playfully.

“Maybe a little” she replies, chewing her lower lip a little.

“Go choose a movie, I’ll be in soon” he tells her, nodding towards the living room.

He watches as she goes and curls up on the couch under a blanket, Kal stretching out next to her, his head resting on her lap.

Letting out a sad sigh, he heads into the kitchen and starts serving up their dinner, looking over at her every few minutes, his heart breaking more every time.

He can’t understand why her parents did what they did, she’s an amazing kid. He’s beyond proud of the young woman she’s becoming.

“Uncle Hen” she calls out, pulling him from his thoughts.

“Yes sweetheart?” he says, looking over at her curled up with Kal.

“Can I um… can I have a drink?” she asks cautiously.

He pauses for a moment, thinking. Normally it’s her dad that makes this decision… but now he’s her dad, kind of. He’s the one responsible for her.

He looks back at her as she chews on her thumbnail and realises just how much he wants a drink too.

What harm would one glass of wine do?

“One” he tells her, opening one of the overhead cabinets and pulling out a bottle of Sophie, his fiancée’s, favourite red.

He finishes dishing up their food before opening the bottle and pouring each of them a glass, as well as an ice water.

“Don’t tell Soph” he tells her with a wink as he carries everything over and sets it on the coffee table.

“It’s our secret” Poppy says quietly, smiling at him.

She gently shoo’s Kal off the couch and gets the smaller bowl of stew, stirring it round with her spoon and dipping a piece of fresh sourdough into it before staring at it.

“You gotta eat Pop. It doesn’t have to be much but you need to have something” he tells her, watching her as she dips the piece of bread again.

“What did I do wrong?” she whispers, her voice breaking.

“You have done nothing wrong, you understand me, absolutely nothing” he tells her as he gently wipes her eyes, his heart breaking that she thinks this is her fault.

“Then why?” she asks, looking at him, her eyes full of fresh tears.

“I wish I could tell you Bee but I don’t know, I’m so sorry” he says, kissing her forehead.

“I don’t wanna go back, if they change their minds, I don’t…” she says quietly, biting her lower lip to try and keep her tears at bay.

“You don’t have to. You will always have a home with me Pop, always” he tells her, meaning every word. He will do everything in his power to make sure she doesn’t have to go back to her parents.

She nods at him before biting into her bread, letting out a small hum as she chews. She’s always loved Henry’s cooking and this is no exception.

They eat in silence, neither one of them really paying attention to Shrek playing on the TV.

It’s one of Poppy’s favourites. Welcome to Duloc normally has her in tears of laughter, but not tonight. The world’s funniest joke wouldn’t make her laugh.

After a while she puts her half empty bowl back on the coffee table and picks up her wine, swallowing it down in a few mouthfuls before slouching back against the couch and hugging her knees to her chest, trying to make herself as small as she can.

“Come here” he says quietly, holding out his arm. She quickly slides across the couch and curls into his side, letting out a content hum as he wraps his arm around her.

“Thank you” she whispers, trying to snuggle closer to him.

“You never have to thank me for this. I’m always going to be here for you, as long as I’m breathing I’ll be here, I promise” he tells her, pressing a few kisses to the top of her head before turning his attention back to his food

It’s not long before she dozes off, making him smile when she starts making quiet noises. She’s done it for as long as he can remember, mumbles nonsense in her sleep.

“Pop, sweetheart” he says quietly, rubbing her upper arm as she stirs.

She lets out a grumpy whine and looks up at him pouting, annoyed at being pulled from her sleep.

“Let’s get you to bed, you’re exhausted” he tells her, trying not to laugh at how cute she looks.

“Can I stay with you… just tonight??” she mumbles, her eyes fluttering shut.

“Of course you can, come on” he says before helping her up and guiding her to his room, Kal following closely behind them.

Wait why did they kick her out? Because the mother if you want to call her that, left home at 15?! Excuse me? As a mother I don't want mine to leave home any time soon. Aww seeing Hen as the cool uncle to the rescue....swoon! 🥵🥵🥵

I love protective/dad figure Hen. 😍 this is how I imagine him with his own kids, breaking legs if someone were to hurt them 🤣😈

I can't wait to see what happens next.

And here we have an American demonstrating their species mass allergy of the letter “U”

Hi, from the country that made the English language *coughs* the UK.

Here some other words that are spelt correctly:

arbour, armour, behaviour, endeavour, favour, flavour, harbour, honour, humour, neighbour, parlour, rigour, rumour, saviour, splendour, tumour, vapour, vigour, behaviourism, honourable, favourite, colouration, colourise, coloured, colouring, colourer, colourful, discolour, colourist.

I can send you an English dictionary if you like? I have about 4 in the loft, my boys schools give them out free 🤣

Cherrygate - Rewritten

Author's note - This is my first try at writing, I replayed Love Island season one last week. Cherrygate gets me every time, they could have done so much. If main character is loyal she still gets shafted and blamed because of Erikah jealousy. I wanted to see if I could do something better, if you think it's awful sorry.

All grammar mistakes are my own and on my head be it.

Word count - 2000+

Disclaimer - characters are property of Fusebox.

Couple - Levi & Elena

18+ strong language

The Morning after Cherrygate

Elena woke for a split second she forgot about last night but only for a second before it hit her, she was hoping it was just a nightmare. How could he do this to her? After everything they had been through to get here...

“Oi, so it wasn’t a dream was it?” Tim calls over as her eyes glass over, she sits up offering a weak smile to Tim, “it feels like a nightmare,” she sighs wiping the stray tear on her cheek as she looks down not wanting Tim to notice but it’s too late.

He pulls back his duvet, Jen is already up, he makes his way over to his friend before pulling her in for a hug, “I didn’t see that coming. I thought he was really into you!” he huffs, “how are you feeling?”

She looks up at him, “I’m really upset,” her eyes become more glassy, “yeah, that was a stupid question, wasn’t it?” He weakly smiles at her as the bedroom door opens and Levi pokes his head in, he spots her awake with Tim consoling her.

He freezes on the spot, “oh, I didn’t think you’d be up!” He stood awkwardly not knowing what to say, “I’ve go to go....um...be somewhere less awkward!” Tim jumps off the bed and pushes passed Levi, “you messed up big time!” Tim whispers to Levi as he makes his way out of the bedroom.

“Leave me alone!” Elena spits at him before pulling the duvet over her head not wanting to speak to him, “I was trying to!” she heard him hiss at her before she felt the mattress dip and heard him sigh, “listen, I just want to say....” he’s cut off with the bedroom door opening.

He rolls his eyes, “oh great. Another interruption.” He looks over his shoulder at Cherry who just wanders in holding her phone, “morning everyone. I’ve got a text!” She smiles but it quickly fades when she spots Levi.

“What? It’s so early!” Rohan looks shocked, Elena pulls the covers from over her head, “why does this keep happening?” Allegra groans.

Cherry, today you and another Islander will take a trip to the local market. You must buy the ingredients you need to prepare a home-cooked dinner for the rest of the islanders.

#Onthemarket #foodforthought

“Right. Saved by the bell, I suppose!” Cherry awkwardly smiles, “come on, Levi. We’re going shopping!” He looks a little shocked, “yeah, ok! That sounds good! I think I was done here anyway, I guess I’ll talk to you later, Elena!” he gets up and Elena pulls the duvet back over her head, “I don’t think there is anything I want to say to you!” She calls out from the covers.

The other islanders look over at Elena under the covers, she heard Tim fill them in.

“Oh, Elena!” Talia takes a seat on the edge of the bed and pulls back the covers, Elena sits up, “I can’t believe he’d do that after he made such a big deal about recoupling with you!” Elena shrugs trying to not let it bother her.

“There has to be more to it,” Talia tried to reassure her, “he has been unsure about us,” Elena admits to her.

“I think you need to speak to him,” Elena laughs, “he’s a little busy right now,” Elena rolls her eyes.

“Ok, get ready for when he’s back!” Talia nudges her, Elena reluctantly gets up off the bed and heads for the dressing room.

A few hours later, Elena is sat around the fire pit as Levi and Cherry arrive back, she watches the islanders gather round the kitchen as she notices Levi looking for her as each of them make their way from inside. He looks disappointed when he can’t find her, but then his eyes move around the villa, she looks away not wanting to meet his eye.

She doesn’t move from her seat, or notice Jen making her way over, “you coming over to see what those two are cooking?” Elena shook her head, “rather not!” her stubbornness took over.

“He searched for you as soon as he came back!” Jen took a seat next to her, “didn’t look too hard, did he?!” Elena shrugs, “as much of a mistake he made he’s honest to his core. You must know what Jasper and Allegra are saying is complete bullshit! I think there is another factor to it. When we were playing never have I ever you remember he said he cheated?”

Elena nods, “I asked him about...” Elena looks, over to where Levi is, his eyes are already on her, he looks sad, his eyes pull away from her to the food he's preparing.

"I GOT A TEXT!" Tim calls out pulling all the islanders to him, "what is it?" Rohan asks, "let me read it. Islanders, it's time to find out how much you trust each other. Get ready to get wet in a game of sink or swim! #Trustissues!"

The islanders looks round each other, "this will be interesting!" Allegra teases the group. Elena rolls her eyes unenthusiastic, perfect timing! She followed the group out to the challenge.

Elena wasn't playing much attention until her name was called put, "next up, it's Elena and Levi! This should be interesting!" Jasper chuckles, the pair make their way up to the tanks and onto the platforms, she looks straight ahead, but she could feel his eyes on her.

"I'm sorry babe! I really made a mess!" He calls over in hope she'll turn to look at him, but she doesn't. Instead she looks down at the two buttons dunk or save, she hits one wanting this to be over, "hey which one did you push?" He calls over.

"Dunk!" She shouts back still not turning to look at him, "fair enough. You're hard to read sometimes!" She takes a deep breath not letting his comment get to her.

"They have both made a decision, time to count down!" Jasper smugly smirks, the islanders count "three, two, one!" But neither of you move…

Levi is confused, she finally turns to face him, "what people say and what they do are two different things. You should know that more than anyone!" She hissed before she made her way down from the tank.

She heard Levi sigh as she made her way back to watch the others, Rohan and Jake dunk each other which lightens the mood. Elena and Erikah are called up, "what do you say hun? Do I dunk you or save you?"

"Do what you want!" Elena calls over, "you always do anyway!" Elena mutters under her breath as she hits a button, the islanders count down, "three, two, one!" The water was cold.

Elena knew she'd dunk her, it made her feel less bad about dunking Erikah as she swam to the top, Erikah is holding onto the side as she narrows her eyes at Elena, "you dunked me! You actually dunked me!" Erikah hissed.

Elena climb out of the tank, "karma is a bitch or a dunk tank!" Elena smugly winked at her, pissing off Erikah even more.

Dripping wet Elena grabs a towel to dry off as the game continues, "Elena versus Cherry!" Allegra smirks.

Elena drops down her towel, she stood once again on the platform, she quickly glances at Cherry who looks apologetic at her. Elena pushes her button as does Cherry, "three, two, one!" Neither of them move, they look to each other in shock.

"I thought you were definitely going to dunk me! We should have a word later, ok?" Elena nods and they both climb down from the tank.

After the challenge Levi is in the kitchen cooking, he looks up as she wanders passed, "hey…" he says but it doesn't stop her in her tracks, she walked passed without a word making her way to the pool.

A few minutes later she heard shouting she looks up towards the kitchen where Levi and Mason are standing off until Jen pulls then apart, pushing Mason into the villa and away from the kitchen.

Levi's eyes meet hers from across the villa, she shook her head and turned away from him. His face falls knowing he was making everything worse.

Later that evening, everyone is getting ready for the big dinner, Elena wasn't really in the mood, Cherry sat down next to her at the dresser, "Elena, before we all head down. I just want to say I'm sorry about my involvement with last night! I shouldn't have kissed Levi, I came in here to make friends, find love and have a good time, but I messed it all up. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but my head is all over the place at the moment. I tried to put it to the back of my mind, but it's a bit hard when I watch him glancing at you all the time. I know that's not your fault it's Mason's, but I just feel like I'm competing with you for his attention. Which is why I kissed Levi…"

Elena stops her, "but you've seen me multiple times tell him, he is no more than a mate. So there is no competing for his attention. It all his end not mine!" Elena gets up and puts on her shoes, "I just wanted to explain why it happened and apologies," Cherry looks up at her.

"I don't blame you, you're not the one I'm coupled up with. So there is no reason to apologise!" Elena checks herself over in the mirror, "great! Thanks Elena!" Cherry jumps up a little brighter, "ready for dinner everyone?" Cherry claps her hands together before rushing downstairs with the other girls following her.

Elena flops down on a seat, she no longer has the energy to sit down and play happy islanders, within a few minutes she can her raised voices from outside. Rolling her eyes she pulls out a makeup wipe and removes her make up before changing into her pajamas.

It's a little quieter downstairs now, she pushes open the bedroom down and Levi is sat on the end of their bed, he looks up as she wanders over.

"Dinner was a disaster!" He looks back at his hands, "I heard!" She pulls back the duvet and gets into bed, he turns towards, "look Elena, I'm sorry about last night! It shouldn't have taken me all day to apologise, but I thought if we both cooled off first we could talk about it calmly. Erikah got into my head, telling me how all the boys fancied you…!"

She sat up and cut him off, "wait, so you let a girl, who is still pissed at me for picking Rohan at the last recoupling, get in to your head and instead of coming to me about it, you lock lips with Cherry?! How is it my fault the boys fancy me? I have told each and every boy that they were in the friends zone because I liked you! Makes sense!" She rolled her eyes at him.

"Erikah didn't tell me that!" He looks at her shocked, "you are the one I've been waiting to couple up with for weeks now we finally couple up you kiss another girl because of hearsay. How would you feel if it was Mason talking in my ear about you, making me doubt what we have and I kiss someone else?" Levi looks down, "I'd be upset you didn't come to me…" he looks up at her.

"Exactly!" She shook her head, he climbs up the bed, "I'm sorry! I still want us, if you forget me?" His face is inches from hers, his eyes flicker between hers, "only if you don't listen to jealous cows!" He chuckles, "I'll come to you before I do anything stupid!" He quickly peaks her lips making her smile.

He pulls her to his chest, she snuggles into him as the other islanders wander into the bedroom, Erikah frowns when she spots Elena and Levi cuddled up…

I'll deal with her tomorrow…

As I try to piece together the last few chapters of Hold Me and finish writing them is the hardest thing I have had to do as a writer. It's taken me months and I'm still nowhere nearer to finishing. They say knowing your characters and the story you want to write makes it easier. For me it hasn't. If anything it's a frustrating process but I know once these chapters are done I will be proud of what I've achieved.

One day I hope to share this story with you, sadly today it doesn't feel like it will ever happen.
