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”

#writephoto Arch – Through The Window

It’s Thursday, and time for another #writephoto prompt, courtesy of Sue Vincent. This week’s photo brought a character to mind, and here he is: He liked to watch the world change. Today it was snowy, the little tree purged of leaves by winter, the land beyond carpeted white. Some days he saw green grass andContinue reading “#writephoto Arch – Through The Window”

Birthday Bug

I haven’t blogged for about a week, probably the longest break I’ve had since I started blogging just over three years ago. We’ve had a bit of a sickness bug in the house this past week, plus the gorgeous girl had a birthday with various celebrations to plan and enjoy, so it’s been a veryContinue reading “Birthday Bug”

Autumn Leaves and Winter Work

It’s Sunday evening. The sky is washed with eggshell shades fading to blue, my cheeks still tingling from being outside. The working week awaits… and yet, the working weekend has just finished. I’m currently deep into the final edit and formatting of Under Stone, book four in my Ambeth series, with a view to publishingContinue reading “Autumn Leaves and Winter Work”

A Ramble In More Ways Than One

I missed my Wednesday Wander this week! Not because I didn’t have anywhere to write about, but because I’ve been deep into Ambeth these past two weeks, doing a fine toothcomb edit of Under Stone, the fourth instalment in the series. The story has taken me over again and I’ve been immersed fully into it,Continue reading “A Ramble In More Ways Than One”

Reflections, Fireworks and a Zombie Prom Queen

I’ve been out and about these last few days, as half term winds down and the celebration season winds up. On Saturday I walked along a stretch of canal I hadn’t visited before – I love reflections, and the calm water made for some interesting shots. Yesterday was Devils Night, the precursor to Halloween, andContinue reading “Reflections, Fireworks and a Zombie Prom Queen”

Writing Updates And The Snot Monster

Happy Friday, everyone! Just a quick update post, as my week has been thrown into slight disarray by a snot monster who has decided to take up residence in my sinuses. Blegh! Could be worse, though, I know that. Streaming eyes and the fact that the front of my face feels as though it’s aboutContinue reading “Writing Updates And The Snot Monster”

The Turning Of The Season

Spring is here, at least according to the calendar, and with it the desire to wear something new, tired of the same old boots and puffa jacket, winter’s uniform of black and grey. It seems the earth feels the same way. Perhaps that’s why spring is so gorgeous, the world clothed in blossom and wildflowersContinue reading “The Turning Of The Season”
