It’s Thursday, and time for Norm 2.0’s weekly Thursday Doors Challenge. This week I have a photo of a door I took last summer but forgot about – I found it while scrolling through my photo library looking for something else. There were a few reasons I took a photo of this door. One isContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Aldwych, London”

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”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Sixteen – Small Things
Today is day sixteen of the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and the prompt is: Small Things. It’s been a funny old week with lots going on, and I’ve just realised that I forgot to take a Wednesday Wander! I’m think perhaps this blogging challenge has thrown me off course a little – I tend notContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Sixteen – Small Things”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Three – Faces In The Street
It’s day three of the challenge, and today’s prompt is: Faces In The Street. This prompt is quite apropos, as I happened to be in London today – I love the city but find crowds overwhelming at times, so it’s always nice to return to the relative solitude of home. As it’s been quite aContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Three – Faces In The Street”
Thursday Doors In The Heart Of London
This week I have some doors located in a winding cobbled alleyway in the heart of London. I love the way the alley twists, each turn revealing new shapes and architecture. It’s that wonderful mix of old and modern that you get in London, with a glimpse of the Walkie-Talkie looking one way, and theContinue reading “Thursday Doors In The Heart Of London”
Thursday Doors – St Pancras New Church, London
This is a side door to the St Pancras New Church, London. The banner in front is an art installation there at the time I took the photo, but I don’t think it detracts from the rather splendid red doors. The church itself was built in 1819 in the Greek Revival style, and was calledContinue reading “Thursday Doors – St Pancras New Church, London”
Old Meets New (With Bonus Orb)
I was in London this past Saturday, catching up with one of my oldest friends. She’s lived in London for many years, so whenever we get together we like to explore places she’s never been to before. This trip was especially poignant, as she is moving back to her native Canada shortly, so will likelyContinue reading “Old Meets New (With Bonus Orb)”
Thursday Doors – Along the Canal
I had a different door in mind for today’s post, but, on a walk with a friend past the nearby canal boat mooring, found the combination of tiny doors, sunshine and colourful boats too hard to resist. I live near to the Grand Union Canal, which links London with Birmingham. The longest canal in theContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Along the Canal”
Bloggers Bash 2017 – Part 2
There have already been several great posts about the recent Bloggers Bash in London, held this past weekend. And I’m here to add my voice to all those saying, ‘What a fantastic day!’ First of all, congratulations to all the award winners, and huge thanks to the organising committee, Sacha Black, Geoff LePard, Ali IsaacContinue reading “Bloggers Bash 2017 – Part 2”
Bloggers Bash, 2016 – Part 1
Or perhaps I’d be more accurate to call this part ‘The Prologue.’ Because this is it, folks – less than twenty-four hours until bloggers assemble in London for the second annual Bloggers Bash! Some are already there, travelling by plane and train to the capital, soaking up the London atmosphere and getting ready to mingle.Continue reading “Bloggers Bash, 2016 – Part 1”
