Wednesday Wander – Indoor Pool, Hearst Castle
I’ve written about Hearst Castle, on the California Coast, before. I went there the first time when I was fifteen, and still remember it as somewhere magical. On a recent trip back to California it was on my to-see list and, even though the visitor centre was much larger than I remember, the tours moreContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Indoor Pool, Hearst Castle”

Everyday Magic
There’s a shop in the nearby village which I swear might be magic. It’s not a large shop, not much bigger than my living room, yet it is packed floor to ceiling with stock. The window display boasts everything from slippers to antique jewellery to thermal underwear to shovels, and the table and racks outsideContinue reading “Everyday Magic”
Not a blog tour – lunch with Helen Jones

It was all Helen’s fault… we wouldn’t have been at St Albans at all except we were meeting her not too far away. Having said that… just look what we would have missed! So we had plenty to talk about as we regained the car in the…
Hugh’s Photo Challenge Week 11 – Rust
I’ve written about this object before. We found it on a beach in Ireland, just a little way around from where I photographed my rock face. We’d decided to climb along the rocks at the water’s edge to a small cove we could see in the distance. It turned out to be a fairly challengingContinue reading “Hugh’s Photo Challenge Week 11 – Rust”
The Joy of Synopses
Well, I’m being a little sarcastic, in case you hadn’t guessed. It’s no secret how much I love to write, but there are some things I enjoy writing far less than others. One of those things is the dreaded author bio – it’s such a fine line between sounding interesting and sounding like a tosserContinue reading “The Joy of Synopses”
#Thursday Doors – Marine Building, Vancouver
This week’s door is a revolving door from the Marine Building, located at 355 Burrard St, Vancouver. Built in 1930 in the Art Deco style, the Marine Building was the tallest building in Vancouver until 1939, and for a brief time was the tallest building in the British Empire. It is currently used as privateContinue reading “#Thursday Doors – Marine Building, Vancouver”
Wednesday Wander – Silves Castle, Silves, Portugal
Today has been icy cold, a real change from the springtime promise of earlier this week. So, as a little escape from the cold and grey, my Wednesday Wander this week is to Silves Castle, one of the best-preserved Moorish castles in Portugal. The castle was constructed between the 8th and 13th century, when SilvesContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Silves Castle, Silves, Portugal”
#BlogBattle – Silver And Black
One of the things I enjoy about blogging is the number of challenges offered by bloggers throughout the community. For writers there’s everything from sixty second flash fiction to short story competitions, and photographers could post something every day of the week and never run out of different blogspirations. One writing challenge I’ve noticed isContinue reading “#BlogBattle – Silver And Black”
