Bloggers Bash 2016 – Venue Announcement
Originally posted on Sacha Black:
The Bloggers Bash Committee said this year would be bigger and better – and trust me, it will be. We, the committee, have plans afoot to make it a cracking day. If you don’t know what the bash is, it’s an annual get together for bloggers everywhere. The bash is open…
Week End
Is it Saturday yet? This week has flown by, mainly because I’ve been working hard on my Hills and Valleys edit, with a massive push to finish today. I’m done except for typing up the changes, which is a big relief. It’s been a week of loss (Bowie, Alan Rickman and others), and of coldContinue reading “Week End”
Thursday Doors – Hatfield House
My door this week is from Hatfield House, not far from where I live. Hatfield House is the seat of the Marquess of Salisbury and, like most great houses in the UK, is partially open to the public. There are actually two houses on the site – The Old Palace of Hatfield and Hatfield House.Continue reading “Thursday Doors – Hatfield House”
Wednesday Wander – Lost Lagoon, Vancouver
Looking at this photo, would you believe it was taken in the heart of a large North American city? Sure, there are a few giveaways if you look closely – streetlights just visible through the distant trees, and a manmade fountain in the centre of the lake. This is Lost Lagoon, in Vancouver, Canada. OnceContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Lost Lagoon, Vancouver”
Falling Star
Today is a funny sort of a day. The sun is shining (for the moment), it’s cold and the air feels fresh. Yet the world is diminished in some way. When an artist of Bowie’s magnitude, who touched so many lives for so many years, leaves this plane, you can almost feel the loss, aContinue reading “Falling Star”
Time To Edit
I haven’t been as ‘present’ as usual in blogland this past week or so. That’s because I’m deep in the pre-edit on my third Ambeth book, Hills and Valleys. My pre-edit basically consists of a full read through, tidying up the prose and making sure the structure works before sending it to Lucy, my editor.Continue reading “Time To Edit”

The pop party is on again today, courtesy of Steve over at Steve Says. His live request show runs from 2-6pm today and requests include a blog promo. So tune in and get your dance on!
Removing The Layers
Last week I found a box full of memories. The clear out continues, and more treasure is coming to light. This week I found an old journal. To be honest, I don’t really keep a journal. However, when I went through a fairly dark, transitional journey in my own life, a dear friend recommended thatContinue reading “Removing The Layers”
Thursday Doors – The Fabulous Commodore, Vancouver
This week’s Thursday Door is a little blast from my past. It’s the entrance to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, a 1920’s dance hall still with the original sprung dancefloor. I moved to Vancouver in my early twenties after finishing university and soon settled into the city, exploring the neigbourhoods and nightlife. The Commodore hostedContinue reading “Thursday Doors – The Fabulous Commodore, Vancouver”
