The other day I opened a box full of memories. I’ve been having a big clearout recently, inspired by Marie Kondo’s ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying‘. Even though I’ve moved a lot in my life (twenty-four times at last count), clutter still tends to accumulate, especially when you have children. So into cupboards I went,Continue reading “Memory Box”

Mountains and Surf
I took a couple of days off over the weekend. There were a couple of reasons for doing so: the first was that I’d finally pressed ‘Publish‘ on No Quarter, the second book in my Ambeth Series.

I’m grateful for most things in my life, to be honest. Therefore, choosing one thing to focus on is tough 🙂 And I suppose I shouldContinue reading “The Gratitude Challenge”
Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge – Day 5 – The Fairy Mountain
At the end of last summer we visited Ireland, staying at a small village on the coast just outside Sligo. I’ve written of this trip before, the fossils on the beach, the beautiful scenery and found objects. Not far from where we were staying was a Fairy Village and, having a small fairy-obsessed girl withContinue reading “Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge – Day 5 – The Fairy Mountain”
