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”

Down By The Canal
It’s getting warmer here, summer finally on its way. Not quite as hot as the European mainland, sweltering in 40 degrees plus, but we are set to top 30 degrees on Saturday, which is quite warm for this little green isle. I’ve lived in hotter places, but no longer have the benefit of a seaContinue reading “Down By The Canal”
#writephoto Arch – Through The Window
It’s Thursday, and time for another #writephoto prompt, courtesy of Sue Vincent. This week’s photo brought a character to mind, and here he is: He liked to watch the world change. Today it was snowy, the little tree purged of leaves by winter, the land beyond carpeted white. Some days he saw green grass andContinue reading “#writephoto Arch – Through The Window”
A Ramble In More Ways Than One
I missed my Wednesday Wander this week! Not because I didn’t have anywhere to write about, but because I’ve been deep into Ambeth these past two weeks, doing a fine toothcomb edit of Under Stone, the fourth instalment in the series. The story has taken me over again and I’ve been immersed fully into it,Continue reading “A Ramble In More Ways Than One”
A Nice Day For A Walk
I haven’t walked to work along the canal for the past couple of weeks. Early starts and unusual weather have meant I’ve not been able to do so. But this past Friday I managed to get myself organised and headed down the hill, backpack on, looking forward to the walk. It takes me just overContinue reading “A Nice Day For A Walk”
Book Review – The Finding Of Martha Lost by Caroline Wallace
“Martha is lost. She’s been lost since she was a baby, abandoned in a suitcase on the train from Paris. Ever since, she’s waited in station lost property for someone to claim her. It’s been sixteen years, but she’s still hopeful. In the meantime, there are mysteries to solve: secret tunnels under the station, aContinue reading “Book Review – The Finding Of Martha Lost by Caroline Wallace”
Beltaine Fire and Butterfly Dreams
Today is May Day, or Beltaine in the old calendar, the first day of summer and the festival that falls halfway between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. The garden is green and humming, the blossom almost gone, the promise of Summer’s warmth just over the horizon. Last night I dreamed of a purple butterflyContinue reading “Beltaine Fire and Butterfly Dreams”
Of Blackberries and Back To School
The gorgeous girl started back at school today. I know, it’s odd to start back on a Friday, but that’s how the school has chosen to schedule it this year (I think we get an extra day off somewhere else). And it’s kind of nice, in a way. Only one day at school means that,Continue reading “Of Blackberries and Back To School”
Summer Daze, Part II
Hello everyone! Summer is flying past and the gorgeous girl is back at school next week, which I cannot believe – where have the days gone? I know I’ve been quiet on the blog front (again) this past week, though I haven’t been completely absent. The lovely Suzie, over at SuzieSpeaks, reblogged one of myContinue reading “Summer Daze, Part II”
Summer Daze
Hi everyone! Just a quick update to say hello. I’ve not been around much in blogworld these past couple of weeks, as summer holidays are here plus we’re doing (another) renovation so I’ve not had a lot of time to spend online recently. I also want to welcome a whole bunch of new followers toContinue reading “Summer Daze”
