I’m beyond thrilled that the lovely Sue Vincent has revived her #writephoto prompt. Sue has a knack for taking photographs that contain stories, so it’s lovely that she feels able to share them once again. This week, her prompt is this atmospheric shot of a boulder guarding a pathway. I’ve been on a few journeysContinue reading “#writephoto – Guarded”

Living La Vida Lockdown
(If the Ricky Martin song is now in your head, sorry for the earworm.) It’s a funny old time, this lockdown. Bringing up lots of memories, days past relived, choices assessed, plans made for going forwards. Time has no meaning, any more – the days punctuated only by the alarm going off in the morning,Continue reading “Living La Vida Lockdown”
A Trip Into The Past – Den Gamle By, Denmark
In my previous post, I talked about a recent trip I took to Denmark. It was an impromptu trip, so there wasn’t much time to plan any activities. However, sometimes that’s a good thing, as you can ask for recommendations from locals when you get there as to the best places to go. We hadContinue reading “A Trip Into The Past – Den Gamle By, Denmark”
Thursday Doors – In The Pink
I spent this past weekend in Wales, my favourite place in the world, which is where I saw this lovely pink door. It belongs to a cottage high on a hill overlooking Swansea Bay on the Gower Peninsula, a picturesque part of South Wales. It was a lovely weekend. We were with family, and visitedContinue reading “Thursday Doors – In The Pink”
A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Season 8 of Game Of Thrones, so if you’re not all caught up, read further at your own peril. Again, spoilers spoilers spoilers) A couple of years ago, I shared two posts about visiting Dragonstone, the Targaryen island fortress from Game of Thrones. Of course, I didn’t really visitContinue reading “A Visit To Kings Landing #GameOfThrones”
Home Again…
Hello everyone! I’m back from my adventure. The jetlag has worn off, the laundry is (mostly) done, and the holiday seems almost like a dream. Yet it was real, and it was fantastic – I saw so much and have so much to write about I hardly know where to begin (there will be manyContinue reading “Home Again…”
Storycatcher
Inside me, stories wait. I can plunge my hand in and stir them up, like brown leaves dancing in water. But I cannot catch them, for if I try they grow wings like starlings and fly, scattering beyond my reach. Instead I must wait, patient, like the fisherman. Let my fingers tickle the water, ratherContinue reading “Storycatcher”
Wednesday Wander – Tower Of London
I could probably write about half a dozen posts about the famous Tower of London (and will definitely write at least one more). There are layers of history going right back to Roman times within the ancient walls, and the names of those who lived and died there are a rollcall of history. The Tower,Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Tower Of London”
#writephoto – In The Flames
I do enjoy Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompts, and the variety of responses she gets for each image. I usually know, when I look at her photos, whether I have something. This is what came to me for this week’s prompt: What do you see in the flames, little one?’ Her hair was burnished gold, littleContinue reading “#writephoto – In The Flames”
Thursday Doors – Silves, Portugal
This lovely little door is set into a wall on an ancient street, directly across from a twelfth century cathedral that may have even earlier origins, in the town of Silves, Portugal. The street is sloping, as you can see from the line of the cobbles, and there is a view across red-tiled roofs toContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Silves, Portugal”
