Another Wednesday and, with it, a wander. The skies are high and blue, the sun shining and, even though travel is limited, it feels like a day to get out and about. This Wander isn’t too far from where I live, but felt like a window into another world, another time. Hope you enjoy it…Continue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Belarusian Memorial Chapel”

Facing Fear With The Silent Eye, Part 4 – Life and Death
I recently attended a workshop with The Silent Eye about Facing Our Fears, an extraordinary weekend spent among the hills and grey stone villages of the Peak District. It’s taken me a little while, as it usually does, to process everything that happened. Once again there was history and mystery, good company and tasty food,Continue reading “Facing Fear With The Silent Eye, Part 4 – Life and Death”
A Dorset Weekend With The Silent Eye – Part Three
This is part three of my account of a recent weekend in Dorset with The Silent Eye. Click here for Part 1 & Part 2. After lunch, we were to visit seven churches in the course of the afternoon, starting with Cerne Abbas. This, despite the fact we only had a few hours to accomplishContinue reading “A Dorset Weekend With The Silent Eye – Part Three”
#Writephoto – All That Remains
He came to me after dark, as night lay like soft velvet in the hollows of the hills. The fire burned low, his feathered cape laid over the chair shimmering iridescent blue as the birds stirred and gave their first sleepy chirps, my breath coming fast as he touched me andContinue reading “#Writephoto – All That Remains”
Maiden Mother Crone, Part 8 – Farewell
So this was it. The final stop on my weekend with the Silent Eye, not far from where it had begun for me, two days earlier. We were very close to Aberdeen airport, but, other than the occasional plane or helicopter overhead, you wouldn’t have known it. We were standing on high ground overlooking aContinue reading “Maiden Mother Crone, Part 8 – Farewell”
Maiden Mother Crone, Part 3 – Balance
The next morning I woke early and went to breakfast – to find several of the group already there, including our guide. We hadn’t realised we were staying at the same place, so it was a nice surprise to catch up before the day began. The meeting place for the rest of the group wasContinue reading “Maiden Mother Crone, Part 3 – Balance”
Wednesday Wander – Belarusian Memorial Chapel
You might think this little wooden church is somewhere in Russia, or Eastern Europe, but in fact it is in London, England. It’s the first wooden church built in the city since the Great Fire of 1666, and also the first memorial in Western Europe dedicated to the Chernobyl Disaster. This is the Church ofContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Belarusian Memorial Chapel”
Thursday Doors – United Reformed Church, Nuneaton
My Thursday Door this week comes from a small Midlands town called Nuneaton. It’s a town I’ve been to many times – it has an excellent market and, when I was a child, Saturdays usually included a visit there. When I was three, I was even briefly lost at the market – I remember standing betweenContinue reading “Thursday Doors – United Reformed Church, Nuneaton”
A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor
I had a very productive writing day today. The kidlet went back to school and (even though I missed her) I managed to clear a bit of clutter out of my office, plus take a walk in the freezing cold sunshine. And it seemed to pay off. A nagging structural issue in Under Stone (AmbethContinue reading “A Productive Day and A #ThursdayDoor”
Wednesday Wander, Rock Of Cashel, Ireland
It’s the first Wednesday of the New Year, and time for my first Wednesday Wander. This week I’m heading to the green centre of Ireland, and an ancient fortress once home to kings. This is the Rock Of Cashel in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Cashel was, for centuries, the seat of the Kings of Ulster, andContinue reading “Wednesday Wander, Rock Of Cashel, Ireland”
