It is with sorrow that I write of the passing of Sue Vincent. I often say that blogging has changed my life, and that is absolutely true – what started as a little place to write about writing and whatever was on my mind became so much more, the friendships I’ve made here ones thatContinue reading “A Wild Spirit”

I See You
I see you my friend In the green grass and the soft heather bloom In the ancient stones and wild peaks In the tumbling stream and the dark woods I see you In the scattered light upon the path In the crouching hare in the long grass In the turning wing of the hunting kiteContinue reading “I See You”
Of Letters And Words
I have a collection of letters in a drawer. Letters written to me by my husband in the early days of our romance, when he was travelling overseas and I was in Canada, before we decided to combine our lives. Others are small notes from my daughter, cards and scraps of paper, where she’s writtenContinue reading “Of Letters And Words”
A Tale Of Two Birthdays
I’ve just had a birthday. It was a quiet one, of course – the day spent at home, gifts arriving via post and email, birthday messages virtual for the most part. I was lucky, nonetheless, to hear from so many people, and to have immediate family with whom to spend it. It was very different,Continue reading “A Tale Of Two Birthdays”
The Threads Of Life
I spoke to my mother on the phone yesterday. It’s a fairly regular thing we do, especially as we’re not able to visit each other at the moment. We try to speak at least once a week, catching up on what little news there is to share, and talking of this and that. This weekContinue reading “The Threads Of Life”
The Sue Vincent Rodeo Classic – Saddle Up!
I’ve been blogging on WordPress for quite a few years ago, and along the way have made wonderful friends, some of whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh (yes, we do come out from behind our keyboards periodically). One of those friends is Sue Vincent. Warm, kind and generous is only aContinue reading “The Sue Vincent Rodeo Classic – Saddle Up!”
The Year That Was
As the year winds to a close, it’s customary to look back at all we’ve achieved in the past 365 days. In a normal year, I suppose, that would be the case. However, as we all know, this has been anything but a normal year. And so, while I’ve certainly achieved a few *things* thisContinue reading “The Year That Was”
Living The Lockdown Life… Again #lockdownuk
As the nights draw in, the days getting colder, it seems natural to retreat into our own spaces, to keep warm and dry, cosy socks and slippers the order of the day. And so it is now, as autumn gives way to winter, the last vestiges of red-gold still clinging to the trees. We’ve hadContinue reading “Living The Lockdown Life… Again #lockdownuk”
For My Friend
‘When you part from your friend, you grieve not; for that which you love most in him will be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.’ Ah, good old Kahlil Gibran, always trying to find the positive, the lesson, in the sometimes-tangled mess of life. I supposeContinue reading “For My Friend”
What’s In A Name?
You may have noticed a recent small change to my site. Well, more accurately, to my name. For a number of reasons, some to do with searchability, and others to do with honouring family ties, I’ve decided to add my married name to my public author name. I was never that bothered about changing myContinue reading “What’s In A Name?”
