#writespiration – 52 Words in 52 Weeks – Toast

Sacha Black has set a nice little writing challenge – 52 Words in 52 Weeks. Each week, she gives us a prompt, and we have exactly 52 words, no more, no less, in which to respond. This week’s prompt is Toast, and here is my response: Last night he had toasted her, declaring her theContinue reading “#writespiration – 52 Words in 52 Weeks – Toast”

Wednesday Wander – Space Needle, Seattle

This week I’m wandering to the Pacific Northwest, and one of the most recognisable landmarks in that area. This is the Seattle Space Needle. Built for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, the Needle was designed to withstand strong earthquakes and winds of up to 200mph, though I wouldn’t like to be up there duringContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Space Needle, Seattle”

A Nice Day For A Walk

I haven’t walked to work along the canal for the past couple of weeks. Early starts and unusual weather have meant I’ve not been able to do so. But this past Friday I managed to get myself organised and headed down the hill, backpack on, looking forward to the walk. It takes me just overContinue reading “A Nice Day For A Walk”

Wednesday Wander – Stonehenge and Solstice

On a hot day such as this one the thought of winter is almost welcome, to be honest. Today isContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Stonehenge and Solstice”

The Bloggers Bash – 2017!

This time last week my bag was packed, my outfit chosen, and I was looking forward to attending another Bloggers Bash. I’d decided to stay over this year, as in previous years it all seemed to end too quickly, conversations cut short as the day flashed by. And I’m so glad I did. The dayContinue reading “The Bloggers Bash – 2017!”

#writephoto – Twilight

I haven’t done a #writephoto for a couple of weeks, mainly because I’ve had a couple of quite insistent book ideas nagging at me, so have been focusing on them. Oh, and there was also the Blogger’s Bash this past weekend, where I had the great pleasure of seeing Sue, along with many other bloggingContinue reading “#writephoto – Twilight”

Wednesday Wander – Singapore

It’s Wednesday, and time for another wander. This week I’ve been inspired by a book I just finished reading, Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians. When I say I read it, I mean I picked it up to read on Sunday and didn’t put it down again until Tuesday, when I’d finished. It was a delicious,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Singapore”
