I recently returned from a short break away with family, something I think the three of us needed after the months of lockdown. We decided to stay within the UK, not quite ready to tackle airports and planes and the rapidly changing quarantine laws, instead driving down south to the coast of Devon. And itContinue reading “A Short Break and A Holy Well”

A Monday Update
Despite the recent easing of lockdown rules in England, life is continuing much as it has been for me and my family. Hubby and I are still working at home and the gorgeous girl, who is in secondary school, is still not back in classes, and won’t be until September. Still, there are things IContinue reading “A Monday Update”
Wednesday Wander Revisited – Rocher De La Vierge, Biarritz
Another Wednesday, another Wander post revisited. While we still can’t travel (or have to quarantine if we do), it’s nice to look back at places I’ve been, as well as consider places I’d like to go once things go back to whatever normal is going to be. This week I’m wandering to Biarritz, somewhere IContinue reading “Wednesday Wander Revisited – Rocher De La Vierge, Biarritz”
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”
An Impromptu Mini-Break … In Denmark
Earlier this month I was lucky enough to have an impromptu mini-break. My husband had to visit Denmark for work and the stars aligned in terms of child- and dog-care to allow me to go with him for a long weekend away, something we’ve not done together since before the gorgeous girl was born. AndContinue reading “An Impromptu Mini-Break … In Denmark”
Facing Fear with The Silent Eye, Part 1 – Arrival
I recently attended a workshop, with The Silent Eye, about Facing Our Fears, an extraordinary weekend spent among the hills and grey stone villages of the Peak District. It’s taken me a little while, as it usually does, to process everything that happened. Once again there was history and mystery, good company and tasty food,Continue reading “Facing Fear with The Silent Eye, Part 1 – Arrival”
Around The World and Back Again
Getting back into this blogging thing is easier said than done, I’m finding. And it probably hasn’t helped that I’ve been away for the past three weeks on the other side of the world. Apologies for being late getting back to comments, too! So, where have I been? Back to my husband’s native Australia, toContinue reading “Around The World and Back Again”
Wednesday Wander – Casa Batllo, Barcelona
I know, I know. You thought I was going to continue with my epic trip from last month. And, I am, definitely. There’s still so much to see in New York, from Rockefeller Plaza to the Chrysler building, Central Park to the Art Deco architecture of Fifth Avenue. Plus all the other places we visited…Continue reading “Wednesday Wander – Casa Batllo, Barcelona”
An Adventure…
Hello, everyone! I know, I know – it’s been a little while between posts. I’ve been focusing on a massive editing job, a final push to get The Last Raven out to my editor by the end of this month… and I managed to finish yesterday! Just in time, too, as tomorrow I’m heading offContinue reading “An Adventure…”
Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming
It’s a short Wednesday Wander this week. The sickness bug has returned and taken over the entire household, all of us wandering around miserably, wishing it would go away. We live inland now, quite far from the ocean, and I do notice the difference in that things seem to linger, no fresh breezes or saltContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – California Dreaming”
