Yes, I am still doing the 30 Day Blog Challenge, but it’s Wednesday, and I always go for a Wander on Wednesday. Today’s prompt was: Very Loud. I thought about places I’d been that were loud – rock festivals, waterfalls, train stations, airports. Then the phrase ‘louder than bombs’ came into my head, and IContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Coventry Cathedral”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 5 – This Road
It’s Day 5 of the 30 Day Writing Challenge. I’ve been a bit short on time today, so I decided to set a timer and write this post, using the prompt: This Road. I like writing to a timer – it’s a clear window of time in which I’m allowed to do nothing except write,Continue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day 5 – This Road”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Four – Mirror
It’s day four of the 30 day writing challenge, and today’s prompt is: Mirror.

These particular lines describeContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Four – Mirror”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Three – Faces In The Street
It’s day three of the challenge, and today’s prompt is: Faces In The Street. This prompt is quite apropos, as I happened to be in London today – I love the city but find crowds overwhelming at times, so it’s always nice to return to the relative solitude of home. As it’s been quite aContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Three – Faces In The Street”
Thirty Day Writing Challenge – Day 2 – Open Door

It seemed to fit the prompt quite well… Silver and Black (an excerpt) ‘Are you ready?’ I was. Despite not wanting to leave Kyle, despite the fact thatContinue reading “Thirty Day Writing Challenge – Day 2 – Open Door”

Wednesday Wander – Tintern Abbey, Wales
