It snowed here on Friday. And Saturday too. Proper snow, like fat feathers falling from the sky, swirling around and settling on trees and pavements and rooftops. The schools didn’t close and life continued pretty much as usual, but it snowed. I love snow. If you’ve ever watched the Gilmore Girls, you’ll know that LoreleiContinue reading “Snow Day”

#writephoto – Swansong
Sue Vincent’s weekly #writephoto challenge is one of my favourite writing prompts. Her photos are always evocative and inspire a wide range of responses, as though she’s captured a little piece of storytelling magic in each image. Perhaps she has… Here is my response to this week’s photo: Swansong They call it a swansong OurContinue reading “#writephoto – Swansong”
Thursday Doors – Aldwych, London
It’s Thursday, and time for Norm 2.0’s weekly Thursday Doors Challenge. This week I have a photo of a door I took last summer but forgot about – I found it while scrolling through my photo library looking for something else. There were a few reasons I took a photo of this door. One isContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Aldwych, London”
Wednesday Wander, Sacre Coeur, Paris
It’s my birthday in a few weeks’ time, and I’m very excited about it. Not so much for the event itself – I mean, I still quite like birthdays, but they do seem to be adding up in recent years. The reason I’m so excited is that one of my best friends from Australia isContinue reading “Wednesday Wander, Sacre Coeur, Paris”
Walking A Tangled Path
I’ve been a bit quiet on the blog front of late. Partly because I think I’m still recovering from the Thirty Day Writing Challenge, partly because I’ve actually been recovering from a nasty lingering cold that’s been running rampant around here (even the Queen had it), and partly because I’ve been trying to untangle theContinue reading “Walking A Tangled Path”
#writephoto – Gold – The Third Time We Choose
Sue Vincent has chosen yet another gorgeous photo for her #writephoto prompt this week, and here is my response: The Third Time We Choose She was scared. Terrified, if she was being honest. But she’d known she couldn’t take another minute stuck in that place. It had felt so good walking into her manager’s office,Continue reading “#writephoto – Gold – The Third Time We Choose”
A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor
I had a very productive writing day today. The kidlet went back to school and (even though I missed her) I managed to clear a bit of clutter out of my office, plus take a walk in the freezing cold sunshine. And it seemed to pay off. A nagging structural issue in Under Stone (AmbethContinue reading “A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor”
Wednesday Wander, Rock Of Cashel, Ireland
It’s the first Wednesday of the New Year, and time for my first Wednesday Wander. This week I’m heading to the green centre of Ireland, and an ancient fortress once home to kings. This is the Rock Of Cashel in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Cashel was, for centuries, the seat of the Kings of Ulster, andContinue reading “Wednesday Wander, Rock Of Cashel, Ireland”
Book Of The Month – A Thousand Rooms – by Helen Jones @AuthorHelenJ
It’s the first day of the new year and what better way to start than as a featured guest over at Hugh’s Views and News! Hugh has chosen my book, A Thousand Rooms, as his book of the month (yay!), and so I dropped by to talk a little more about the story. Thanks forContinue reading “Book Of The Month – A Thousand Rooms – by Helen Jones @AuthorHelenJ”
