I wasn’t really sure where to wander to this week, so took to scrolling through my photographs in an effort to be inspired. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit many places, though there are still many more I’d like to see – however, this week I couldn’t seem to settle on any one destination. ButContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Guildhall, London”

When The Forest Calls
I’ve had one of those days today where I’ve done a little bit of lots of things, but not much of anything. There’s been laundry, as usual, plus some cooking – I made sweet chilli sauce that’s more chilli than sweet, some guacamole and some smoked almonds, so have been snacking most of the morning.Continue reading “When The Forest Calls”
Thursday Doors – Around the Corner
This tiny little door is just near to where I live, part of a fence bordering a residential property. My daughter loves it, always checking to see if anything is in the ‘towers’ around it, leaving daisies or coloured stones for the fairies. After all, who else could it be for? It is too smallContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Around the Corner”
Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle: Part II
Last week I wandered to the EMP Museum in Seattle, a Frank O. Gehry architectural masterpiece. My post featured images of the exterior – however, several commenters expressed an interest in what lay inside, so I thought this week I’d wander through the doors and share some photographs of the interior. This was a giantContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle: Part II”
When A Character’s Story Ends
Killing your darlings. I’m certainly not the first writer to use this phrase, nor will I be the last. In fact, it comes from the lectures of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, a professor, journalist and literary expert who used the term to describe removing fancy words and overblown description from your writing. But here I’m usingContinue reading “When A Character’s Story Ends”
#writephoto Challenge – In Memory Bound
‘Bind her.’ The Forest King turned away, his crown of leaves gleaming in the last light of day. She called out, keening, her branches shivering so leaves fell like rain. But it was to no avail. The vines came up from the earth around her roots, soft at first then hardening like steel, twisting, knottingContinue reading “#writephoto Challenge – In Memory Bound”

A Friday Update
The first week of school holidays is almost over – too bad the gorgeous girl and I have spent much of it housebound, struck down again by the bug that just won’t go away. However, modern medicine and good old-fashioned rest seem to be doing the trick, as we are both feeling better and actuallyContinue reading “A Friday Update”
Thursday Doors – Hemel Hempstead Old Town
This is not the first door I’ve featured from our local Old Town, which has buildings dating back to the 1500’s. There was the mystery door at Number 28, and the wonderfully ornate door of St Mary’s Church. This door, however, is from a residential building. I know it’s a private residence because, when weContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Hemel Hempstead Old Town”
Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle, USA
The EMP Museum in Seattle, Washington was designed by renowned architect Frank O. Gehry and is a wonderful example of his singular design style. Wrapped in undulating metal panels, the colours and shapes were inspired by electric guitars, which Gehry took apart and reassembled as part of the initial design process. Every angle of theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – EMP, Seattle, USA”
