ROMANTIC SHORT STORY BY GAIL WARRICK COXIn this poignant, romantic short story, the willow patterned plate is more than just a family heirloom, it told a tale of forbidden love – and what could have been…Granny Grace’s prized possession was her willow pattern plate. The familiar blue and white design adorned her anaglypta wall. It hung beside a misty mirror, above the shiny mantelpiece, home to an array of china creatures, their heads cocked as if listening for the chime of her pendulum clock.

FAMILY SHORT STORY BY GAIL WARRICK COXIs the family’s best-loved tradition about to fall by the wayside? It certainly seems that way…It’s one of those sparkling November days, bright, sharp and crystal-clear. Perfect conditions for a walk to the top of Craggy Tor, the steep hill that overlooks Lisa and Nick’s hometown. They set off wrapped in scarves, hats and fur-lined hiking boots. It’s a bit of a trek, but well worth it on a clear day. The view from the top is spectacular.
