This week I’m revisiting Ellis Island, somewhere I visited as part of a trip to New York a couple of years ago. I’d always wanted to go to New York, yet even when I lived quite close to it (an hour’s flight), I never did. When I did finally get there, I fell in love.Continue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Ellis Island, New York”

Back From A Break
Hey everyone! It’s been a few months. Well, almost nine months to the day, to be exact, since I went on my break. I’ve missed you all and, I must say, it’s nice to be back. However, I think things will be slightly different this time. One of the things that caused me to takeContinue reading “Back From A Break”
Wednesday Wander – Ellis Island, New York
There is something quite magical, even on a cold and snowy day, about sailing the narrow strip of water past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island, with Manhattan in all its glory to the right. It must have been an incredibly exciting, emotional sight for the more than twelve million immigrants who arrived inContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Ellis Island, New York”

Journey To Ambeth And Beyond…
Have you ever wondered why I decided to call my blog, `Journey To Ambeth’? Ambeth is the fantasy world I created as part of my Ambeth Chronicles – however, when I started blogging a little over three years ago, the books were just drafts and I hadn’t published anything. A friend was starting a blogContinue reading “Journey To Ambeth And Beyond…”
Kyrielle Poetry Challenge – Dreaming Trees
I’ve said before I don’t fancy myself as any sort of poet, nor is it a writing form I’ve much explored. However, lately, there have been a few blog challenges that have led me to respond in poetry, rather than prose, and I’ve really enjoyed doing so. The latest one is from Jane Dougherty, andContinue reading “Kyrielle Poetry Challenge – Dreaming Trees”
#writephoto – The Glade
I do love Sue’s photo prompts – her photos are so evocative, and she gets such a wide range of responses in different styles and genres. My response this week is… well, I guess it’s sort of a poem. I don’t fancy myself as any sort of poet, though, so perhaps it’s more, these areContinue reading “#writephoto – The Glade”
Spreading My Wings
‘A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.’ Lao Tzu I made my first tweet the other day. I’d been resisting Twitter for a long while now, simply because I wasn’t sure what I’d have to contribute. But then a lovely post by Eilis Niamh (here) made me reconsider my position, asContinue reading “Spreading My Wings”
