Hello everyone! I’m back from my adventure. The jetlag has worn off, the laundry is (mostly) done, and the holiday seems almost like a dream. Yet it was real, and it was fantastic – I saw so much and have so much to write about I hardly know where to begin (there will be manyContinue reading “Home Again…”

A Blogging Blip and an Anniversary
Yesterday, as I usually do on a Wednesday, I put together my latest Wednesday Wander post and hit Publish. But a funny thing happened. While my dashboard assured me that the post was, in fact, published, when I clicked the link to view it all I got was: Oops, this page doesn’t seem to beContinue reading “A Blogging Blip and an Anniversary”
The Old Year Ends…
As the year draws to a close, I suppose it’s time to look back and consider how it was. For me, 2017 was a year of mixed blessings and a badly needed kickstart. I’d fallen into something of a rut, so being challenged and thrown out of my comfort zone, as I have been thisContinue reading “The Old Year Ends…”
A Coventry Win, And A Guardian Article – Happy Weekend!
If you’ve read my Author Bio, or my About page, you’ll know that I grew up in Coventry, England. My family have deep ties to the City and most of them still live there, so I visit often. When I returned to the UK in 2012, I spent my first six months back in theContinue reading “A Coventry Win, And A Guardian Article – Happy Weekend!”
Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming
It’s a short Wednesday Wander this week. The sickness bug has returned and taken over the entire household, all of us wandering around miserably, wishing it would go away. We live inland now, quite far from the ocean, and I do notice the difference in that things seem to linger, no fresh breezes or saltContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming”
Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Old Town
It’s Wednesday again, and this week I’m wandering back to Donostia San Sebastian, the beautiful Spanish coastal town I visited this past summer. Last time I wandered here, I visited the beaches, golden curves of sand deserving of their own blog post. This time, I’m venturing into the Old Town. While there is evidence toContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – San Sebastian Old Town”
Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1
I’ve recently been away, doing a spot of wandering in Basque country. I am a big Game of Thrones fan and so, when I found out that two of the locations used for the show were not too far from where I was staying, I decided to take a look (and dragged the family alongContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Dragonstone, Part 1”
Unpacking
I’m back 🙂 Been back a few days now, not quite a week. The suitcases are up in the loft, and I’m gradually emerging from under the approximately 7923 emails and 278 loads of washing (it’s amazing how much a family can fit into three medium sized suitcases). It’s nice to be home, as itContinue reading “Unpacking”
Wednesday Wander – 17 Mile Drive, Monterey
This week I’m wandering to sunny California, and to a stretch of road known as 17 Mile Drive. It runs along the coast of the Monterey Peninsula, a small outcrop of land first mapped by Spanish explorers in 1602. The road was laid out by a consortium of railroad barons, who purchased the land inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – 17 Mile Drive, Monterey”
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”
