The Contract

“He’s chuffing what?” Candice Hamilton gaped. Johnson frowned and sat back to consider the petite brunette who was now far too close for comfort; not that she wasn’t pretty, but someone hadn’t taught her while growing up to rein it in a little. At 18 this in your face attitude of hers might have been […]


Here is the first in a short series of mid-week vintage and retro shots that have a candid or authentic feel about them. This doesn’t mean that they are real, but most of them were included within old Picture Post material.


Obedience The third  in a series of seven reflections on  how the monastic life – not faith – can help us to understand our own lives. Well, this is the biggie, isn’t it? It is the aspect of this thing we do that I struggle with most. I am, to put it kindly, wilful. I’d like to […]

One contributor here once said she spent all day in the corner for lying. Five hours in total I think. Any advance on that? What about post versus pre-spanking corner time? Or […]

Thanks to everyone who has emailed me and made comments. I have had some interesting correspondence, some of it even on topic; more about that another time. Chross and Bonnie have started posting again, so it’s not the silly season everywhere yet. Vanilla Spanking, to which I linked last week, has a F/F take on […]
