I've a short story called Special Flowers in The People's Friend Special 174 which in the shops today, Wednesday 8 May 2019.
It's a story inspired by my visit to Killhope Lead Mining Museum in County Durham.
I was really taken with the atmosphere of the place. And when I saw the tiny blue plumbago flowers growing on the hills of the old lead mine and hearing that the miners used to save some of the minerals they mined, calling them "bonny bits" I knew I had my story right there.
Warning: It might just make you cry.
