Perhaps she has… Here is my response to this week’s photo: Swansong They call it a swansong OurContinue reading “#writephoto – Swansong”

30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness
It’s day fifteen, half way through the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Witness I’d had a little flicker of an Ambeth story running through my mind and it seemed to work with this prompt, the idea of the trees as silent witnesses being quite insistent. If you’ve read the books, you mayContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness”
Wednesday Wander – Coventry Cathedral
Yes, I am still doing the 30 Day Blog Challenge, but it’s Wednesday, and I always go for a Wander on Wednesday. Today’s prompt was: Very Loud.

Another last minute entry for Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge! The theme this week is Love, and so I’ve chosen a photo from my wedding day. It may seem an obvious choice, and in some ways it is.

I Love You Like…
My daughter and I were looking through some of her old school work and we found this picture. It’s part of a book she did called ‘I Love You’, and the kids were given the words ‘I love you as,’ then a space, then the word ‘as,’ then another space. It was up to themContinue reading “I Love You Like…”
The Gratitude Challenge
I was tagged in a post by the lovely Dee the other day, challenging me to write about something for which I’m grateful. I’m actually finding this quite difficult.
