It’s a bit of a dark and dreary day today. Rain smears on the window, cloudy skies and grey streets. I have to collect my child from school at 4pm, as she has an after school club. According to the weather guru on my phone, sunset occurs at 3:56pm today. So I am collecting myContinue reading “Blue Monday”

Thursday Doors – Casa Mila, Barcelona
A quick Thursday Doors post today – this week my door comes from Barcelona, and Antoni Gaudi’s Casa Mila apartment building. The rope and signs get in the way a little bit, but I think you can see what an impressive feature this door is. And it’s only a side door! Casa Mila is builtContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Casa Mila, Barcelona”
Wednesday Wander – Pike Place Market, Seattle
It’s time for my Wednesday Wander and this week it’s to Pike Place Market in Seattle. I took this photo in the early evening, just after we arrived. The rain had cleared and our hotel was only a few blocks from the market, so we wandered down in search of dinner. As it was late,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Pike Place Market, Seattle”
Cast Of Characters
I’ve been watching Miss Fisher’s mysteries for a little while now. I used to live in Melbourne, so it’s nice to see the familiar streets and buildings such as Rippon Lea, The Manchester Building, Como House and Melbourne Town Hall. And the fashion! If I could have anyone’s television wardrobe it would be Miss Fisher’sContinue reading “Cast Of Characters”
Drawn To Life
My posts might be a little bit Ambeth-centric this week. I’m immersing myself deep in the landscape, taking the path through the woods to the Gate and stepping between the trees… Hills and Valleys is the third book in my Ambeth series. I’ve already written it and am now at the structural edit stage –Continue reading “Drawn To Life”

The Landscape of the Mind
I was talking to my musician brother recently, about creative ideas and where they come from. I commented that sometimes, I didn’t realise where inspiration came from until long after the fact, when something or someone would jog my memory and I would make the connection. He said the same thing happened to him withContinue reading “The Landscape of the Mind”
Thursday Doors and Funny Faces
Back when I was at university, I had to take a short photography course as part of my degree. I wasn’t very good at it, to be honest. I had my grandfather’s old Pentax complete with an awesome selection of lenses (which I still have), but it was quite a large and unwieldy camera toContinue reading “Thursday Doors and Funny Faces”
Wednesday Wander – Roses in Morocco
Over the past few weeks I’ve been doing ‘Wordless Wednesday’, where I posted a photo each Wednesday with no accompanying copy. However, ‘wordless’ just isn’t me, so I decided to come up with my own way to describe my images. I’ve settled on ‘Wander Wednesday,’ as most of the photos I take are while I’mContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Roses in Morocco”
