“They're in bloom because they've found where they belong.”
Mark Sippings, Cold Sunflowers

“. ‘This is what I wanted to show you,’ said Ernest smiling. ‘Look at all these names: Chaucer, Dickens, Wordsworth, Austen and the Brontë’s. Maybe one day Raymond, in a very long time, of course,’ – he chuckled – ‘if you keep up your writing and want to do it more than anything else in the world, they’ll be honouring you.’ He poked a friendly finger at Raymond’s sternum.”
Mark Sippings, Cold Sunflowers

“Please, you came all this way. Just take a chance. Everything happens for a reason.”
Mark Sippings, Cold Sunflowers
