Seeing as A Very Tall Summer has sold only one copy in two days, I thought I’d offer readers the chance to sample the first chapter. It’s fairly lengthy and might entice anyone who’s interested. I’m not going to whine… I know self-publishing is a risky business. But I love to…

Thursday Doors – Barcelona
I’m really enjoying the Thursday Doors photo challenge and have found, as I’ve looked through my photos, that I seem to have a ‘thing’ for doors, as I photograph so many of them.

Silver Sparkly Lining
There is a quote by the 17th century Japanese Samurai poet, Masahade, which goes as follows: ‘My house burned down, I can now see better, the rising moon.’ So. It seems pretty clear. It’s all about making the best of a situation, finding the silver lining, so to speak. I personally think that if myContinue reading “Silver Sparkly Lining”
