Wednesday Wander – Natural History Museum, London
It’s Wednesday and time to wander again. This week, I’m not travelling too far from home. I’m lucky enough to live very close to London and all that it holds, including some wonderful (and very famous) museums. This week, I’m wandering to the Natural History Museum, arguably one of the best known. Situated in theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Natural History Museum, London”
Birthday Bug
I haven’t blogged for about a week, probably the longest break I’ve had since I started blogging just over three years ago. We’ve had a bit of a sickness bug in the house this past week, plus the gorgeous girl had a birthday with various celebrations to plan and enjoy, so it’s been a veryContinue reading “Birthday Bug”
#keepersbooklaunch – Keepers Is Here!
In case you haven’t heard, Sacha Black has just released Keepers, the first in her Eden East YA series. Sacha has been a blog friend for a while and I’ve been reading about the progress of this story for the past couple of years, so it’s really exciting to see it finally completed! Eden’s lifeContinue reading “#keepersbooklaunch – Keepers Is Here!”
Saturday Reflections
I’ve written before about how I live close to a stretch of the Grand Union Canal, and how I often walk to work along the canal path (a rather splendid way to start the day, if I’m honest). The walk takes me past modern developments and old lock cottages, passing by an ancient pub andContinue reading “Saturday Reflections”
#writephoto – Sunset
Sue Vincent runs an excellent weekly writing prompt called #writephoto, where she shares a wonderful, evocative picture from her collection, and you have until the following Wednesday to write something inspired by it. Here’s this week’s photo, and this is my response: He liked to leave the house at sunset. Once the lamps had beenContinue reading “#writephoto – Sunset”
Thursday Doors – San Sebastian Aquarium, Spain
Continuing with the aquarium theme from yesterday’s Wander, today’s door belongs to the San Sebastian Aquarium. Located at the very end of the old harbour, the Aquarium was built in 1928, when much of the area was redeveloped. And it has a rather spectacular door, don’t you think? As well as being a rather wonderfulContinue reading “Thursday Doors – San Sebastian Aquarium, Spain”
Wednesday Wander – Le Musee De La Mar, Biarritz
It’s Wednesday, and time to wander again. I recently visited the French coastal town of Biarritz, and this week I’m going to wander to Le Musee De La Mer – the Biarritz Aquarium. Opened to the public in 1933, the building is a stylish example of Art Deco architecture, much like the nearby Casino. However,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Le Musee De La Mar, Biarritz”
Thank You
It’s evening. The time of day when I’m usually working (other than during the day, when I’m at work). Working, over the past few months, has been editing and formatting and writing, leaving not much time for blog posts or visiting around. I did write a short post the day before yesterday, with some updatesContinue reading “Thank You”
Autumn Leaves and Winter Work
It’s Sunday evening. The sky is washed with eggshell shades fading to blue, my cheeks still tingling from being outside. The working week awaits… and yet, the working weekend has just finished. I’m currently deep into the final edit and formatting of Under Stone, book four in my Ambeth series, with a view to publishingContinue reading “Autumn Leaves and Winter Work”
