With the Olympics on and Team GB doing so well (yay!), I thought it might be fun this week to wander to Greece, where it all began. Now, this is obviously not a stadium built for the 2004 Athens Olympics – rather, this is the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Panathenaic Olympic Stadium, Greece”

Treasure From My Garden
A little while ago I posted about a horseshoe we found while digging out the back of our garden in preparation for some building work. It was an odd horseshoe in that it was quite small and light, so I shared it in the hopes someone might be able to shed some light on it.Continue reading “Treasure From My Garden”

Wednesday Wander – Niagara Falls, Canada

Close enough that I remember going on a couple of dates there during high school, close enough that it was where we took all our visitors whenever they came to stay. It was no different when I went back toContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Niagara Falls, Canada”

I also want to welcome a whole bunch of new followers toContinue reading “Summer Daze”

A professional edit, typesetting, a cover design – while you don’t have to pay for any of these things, they can make a difference to the look and feel of your finished book. However, independent publishing doesn’t, for the most part, make much money –Continue reading “Playing with Prisma”
