The path wasn’t much. Cut into the hillside, a pale ribbon of chalk against the green. But it represented everything. The wide landscape stretched before them, fading into a green haze. Summer lay rich upon the land, bees buzzing in the flowers, butterflies dancing among the long grasses. In the fields the crops ripened, blue-greenContinue reading “#writephoto – Vista”

#writephoto – Horizon
Gosh, I haven’t done a #writephoto in ages! Not for lack of inspiration – Sue has a knack for capturing stories in her images, which is why it’s one of my favourite writing prompts – rather, a lack of time and brainpower. However, the fog is lifting, and this week’s photo sent me a story.Continue reading “#writephoto – Horizon”
#writephoto Sanctuary
Sue Vincent’s #writephoto is one of my favourite blog writing prompts. The photos she chooses are always so inspiring, and she gets such a variety of responses to the same image.

The Cathedral and Baptistry were also slightlyContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Leaning Tower Of Pisa, Italy”
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. I thought about places I’d been that were loud – rock festivals, waterfalls, train stations, airports. Then the phrase ‘louder than bombs’ came into my head, and IContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Coventry Cathedral”
Of Ironing Boards and Boats
It’s probably reasonably well documented that I’m not a fan of housework, feeling it takes up time I could spend doing other things such as writing. However, there is one household task I quite enjoy. One that I find meditative and soothing. It’s ironing. I know, right? I can hear the screams from here. ButContinue reading “Of Ironing Boards and Boats”
