I realise we’re already over three weeks in to the new year, so I’m a bit late to the party. But what a year it’s been already, hey? (wild understatement, I know) However, I don’t wish to dwell on the darkness that currently surrounds us. There are threads of hope carried in this year, andContinue reading “A New Year”

The Year That Was
As the year winds to a close, it’s customary to look back at all we’ve achieved in the past 365 days. In a normal year, I suppose, that would be the case. However, as we all know, this has been anything but a normal year. And so, while I’ve certainly achieved a few *things* thisContinue reading “The Year That Was”
Dragons and A Brand New Year
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely holiday break 🙂 I know I’ve been a bit absent from the blogosphere this past month – I’ve had a terrible virus that stole my breath and sense of smell and taste, so Christmas wasn’t quite the eating festival I envisioned. However, I finallyContinue reading “Dragons and A Brand New Year”
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…”
Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!
It’s the last day of the year and so, as is tradition, I’m taking a look back at my blogging year. Oh, I won’t be sharing stats or anything like that – rather, just revisiting some popular posts and summing up my 2016 blogging experience. For it has been an experience indeed! This year I’veContinue reading “Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!”
Sweet Treats
Here we are only three days into the New Year, and it’s a day of treats! The first treat comes courtesy of Cher over at The Chicago Files. Just before Christmas she held a blog party, and she chose four of the participating bloggers to win a sweet Chicago treat. And guess what? I’m oneContinue reading “Sweet Treats”
Memory Box
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”
The Turning Of The Year
It’s Thursday, which usually means a door. But it’s also New Year’s Eve, and a chance to look back over the past year. 2015 has been an extraordinary year for me, both in life and in blogging. I published the first two books in my Ambeth series, visited Spain, Andorra, Canada and the US, welcomedContinue reading “The Turning Of The Year”
The InBetween
I’ve been mostly absent from the blogosphere these past few days. It’s been family time, of course, days spent away from home eating and drinking and sharing time with those I love most. I thought about you all, of course I did, hoping you were all enjoying a happy Christmas time too. But it wasContinue reading “The InBetween”
