Sue Vincent’s #writephoto is one of my favourite blog writing prompts. The photos she chooses are always so inspiring, and she gets such a variety of responses to the same image. I don’t always get a story but, when I do, they come immediately. This one appeared when I saw her image for this week:Continue reading “#writephoto Sanctuary”

A Blogging Blip and an Anniversary
Yesterday, as I usually do on a Wednesday, I put together my latest Wednesday Wander post and hit Publish. But a funny thing happened. While my dashboard assured me that the post was, in fact, published, when I clicked the link to view it all I got was: Oops, this page doesn’t seem to beContinue reading “A Blogging Blip and an Anniversary”
Wednesday Wander – Rocher De La Vierge, Biarritz
Last summer, I was fortunate enough to spend some time in Biarritz, located on the French coast. I absolutely loved it – the light, the water, the people, the food – it was just wonderful. I’ve written about it here and here, but for today’s Wander I’m going to go back to the town’s originsContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Rocher De La Vierge, Biarritz”
A Good Start
As I mostly work from home these days, I try to take myself out of the house at least once a week, and one of my favourite spots is a nearby cafe on the edge of the canal. The food is homemade and delicious, the staff friendly, and the interior replete with fairy lights, whichContinue reading “A Good Start”
Wild Moon
Yesterday was a funny sort of day. Everything felt a bit edgy and I found it difficult to focus, but couldn’t work out why. Then, in the evening, I took the gorgeous girl to her dance class and there it was. The Super Blue Blood Moon, sailing above the trees like a golden lantern. ItContinue reading “Wild Moon”
Wednesday Wander – Caernarfon Castle, Wales
I’ve been to Caernarfon, located on the picturesque North Wales coast, a few times. But my most memorable visit took place quite a few years ago, when a friend and I were travelling through Wales together. We managed to find, on our meagre budget, a guesthouse with a view of the famous castle, a genialContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Caernarfon Castle, Wales”
Finding My Way Back #amwriting
I have a new desk. For writers, this can be kind of a big deal. I’m quite pleased with it. It’s a bit smaller than my other desk, which makes my tiny study feel bigger. There’s still room for my bits and pieces; trinket boxes, a set of vintage tins I use for pens, someContinue reading “Finding My Way Back #amwriting”
Wednesday Wander – Graffiti in the Beauchamp Tower
Wednesday Wander is back! I had a little bit of a break due to work and health turmoil, but it’s a new year, all is well, and it’s time to wander again. This week I’m taking a closer look at a part of the Tower Of London. I’ve written about the Tower before, and lookedContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Graffiti in the Beauchamp Tower”
Woken By Words #amediting
I was woken this morning by words. Not by my neighbour, although the sound of her workmen banging and drilling at 8am was enough to send sleep away. I was up well before then, the story I’m working on poking and prodding at my brain. ‘Come on!’ it said. ‘Let’s go! We need to sortContinue reading “Woken By Words #amediting”
