This is the continued account of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. Please click here for parts one, two, three and four. (Before I begin this part of the story, I realise I’ve not said much about the companions. I suppose that’s because these posts are about my own personal journey, but it wouldContinue reading “Circles Beyond Time – Awakening”

Circles Beyond Time – Warmth
This is the continued account of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. Please click here for part one, part two and part three. We all gathered around the stone, everyone agreeing that it looked very similar to a sundial. Sue then told us that excavation had shown the stone was deliberately placed and proppedContinue reading “Circles Beyond Time – Warmth”
The Many Doors in a Writer’s Life #Writers #WritersLife #AmWriting
I’ve just realised it’s Thursday and, for the first time (I think) since I started it, I didn’t post a Wednesday Wander yesterday. I suppose my focus this week has been on documenting the weekend away with The Silent Eye, so in a way I’ve been Wandering all week. Today is Thursday and there isContinue reading “The Many Doors in a Writer’s Life #Writers #WritersLife #AmWriting”
Circles Beyond Time – Sorrow
This is the continued story of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. Please click here for instalment one and two. After the visit to Carl Wark and an excellent dinner, I returned to my hotel unable to do anything other than watch TV for a while before falling asleep, thoughts of finishing my shortContinue reading “Circles Beyond Time – Sorrow”
Circles Beyond Time – Release
This is the continued story of my weekend away with The Silent Eye. For the first instalment, please click here. We left The Fox House in a small convoy of cars, heading towards Carl Wark. It’s a Neolithic site, designated a hill fort despite the fact it is like no other hill fort in theContinue reading “Circles Beyond Time – Release”
Circles Beyond Time Weekend – Arrival
A little over two weeks ago I headed north for a three-day weekend with The Silent Eye, to be spent exploring Neolithic sites and ancient monuments in the Peak District. I travelled alone, meeting most of the group for the first time. And it was… intense. A heady mix of good company, wonderful scenery, andContinue reading “Circles Beyond Time Weekend – Arrival”

Today I’m very pleased to welcome author (and author-y friend!) Kate M. Colby to my blog.

Set in the steampunk world of Desertera, The Courtesan’sContinue reading “Guest Post with Author Kate M. Colby #Desertera”
Thursday Doors – Blacksmith Row
This door is the end one in a row of three connected cottages called Blacksmith Row. There is no blacksmith there any more but, as with so many names in Britain, clues to the history of the place lie in the name. When Leverstock Green was a village, before the post-war new town developments madeContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Blacksmith Row”
Wednesday Wander – Throwback, Hollywood Style
This week, I’m wandering back in time as well as through space, to my first trip to California. It was 1985 – denim was faded, colours were bright, earrings were big and so was hair. And here we are. My brother and I at the famed Hollywood Bowl, just sitting casually in front of theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Throwback, Hollywood Style”
Picas – Turning Photography Into Digital Art
This past week I’ve been playing with Picas, a new filter app for my phone. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a couple of shots I shared there. The premise of the app is, according to the description, that it ‘combines deep neural networks and artificial intelligence to automatically redraw photosContinue reading “Picas – Turning Photography Into Digital Art”
