Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Wet Day in New York City

Is it a wet day where you are? Or are you suffering with the heat, as so many of us are across the UK? We’re on the Devon coast at the moment, so it’s a bit cooler than inland, but there have been some spectacular thunderstorms. Still, we don’t let the weather stop us fromContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Wet Day in New York City”

Wednesday Wander Revisited – Panathenaic Olympic Stadium, Greece

I originally posted this Wander almost exactly four years ago, when the Olympics were in full swing in Rio, the world celebrating together as it usually does. However, although the 2020 Olympics were scheduled to take place this month, things are much different. The Tokyo Olympics have been postponed until next year, but even thatContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Panathenaic Olympic Stadium, Greece”

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?”

A Monday Update

Despite the recent easing of lockdown rules in England, life is continuing much as it has been for me and my family. Hubby and I are still working at home and the gorgeous girl, who is in secondary school, is still not back in classes, and won’t be until September. Still, there are things IContinue reading “A Monday Update”

When The Moon Is Full #SummerSolstice

I wrote this story a few years ago, for a #BlogBattle competition. But Midsummer is upon us, the forests dancing with life, the land burgeoning with green, and it felt appropriate to share it again. This is my favourite time, when the wheel of the year turns towards autumn harvests and cold winter nights. HappyContinue reading “When The Moon Is Full #SummerSolstice”

Living La Vida Lockdown

(If the Ricky Martin song is now in your head, sorry for the earworm.) It’s a funny old time, this lockdown. Bringing up lots of memories, days past relived, choices assessed, plans made for going forwards. Time has no meaning, any more – the days punctuated only by the alarm going off in the morning,Continue reading “Living La Vida Lockdown”

Wednesday Wander Revisited – Highgate Cemetery

Last week I reposted one of my Wednesday Wander posts, in response to the fact that any sort of non-essential travel still looks to be some time away for most of us. I’ve decided to keep going with it – it’s fun to imagine, to dream of being spirited away somewhere else, especially when thingsContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Highgate Cemetery”

Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Trip To Dragonstone, Part 1

When I was about a year into blogging I started a regular feature called a Wednesday Wander, where I’d write a post about somewhere I’d been (I’ve travelled a bit), share photos, a bit of local knowledge and my own insight into the place. I had to stop doing them, eventually – not due toContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – A Trip To Dragonstone, Part 1”
