I’ve just realised it’s Thursday and, for the first time (I think) since I started it, I didn’t post a Wednesday Wander yesterday. I suppose my focus this week has been on documenting the weekend away with The Silent Eye, so in a way I’ve been Wandering all week. Today is Thursday and there isContinue reading “The Many Doors in a Writer’s Life #Writers #WritersLife #AmWriting”

Thursday Doors – Blacksmith Row
This door is the end one in a row of three connected cottages called Blacksmith Row. There is no blacksmith there any more but, as with so many names in Britain, clues to the history of the place lie in the name.

Wednesday Wander – Throwback, Hollywood Style
This week, I’m wandering back in time as well as through space, to my first trip to California. It was 1985 – denim was faded, colours were bright, earrings were big and so was hair. And here we are. My brother and I at the famed Hollywood Bowl, just sitting casually in front of theContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Throwback, Hollywood Style”
Picas – Turning Photography Into Digital Art
This past week I’ve been playing with Picas, a new filter app for my phone. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a couple of shots I shared there.
