  • Phew, it’s hotter than ever isn’t it? Though I remember the heatwave that lasted all of 1976, I’d just left school and off to get a job. I was working in an office at a grain silo, but that’s another story I’ll tell sometime. I’ve now re-published my saga, as I’d mentioned Queen Alexandra’s nurses…

  • Hope you’re all enjoying the weather. We’ve been in the garden a lot. Tomatoes and lettuce are growing well, along with spinach and radish.

  • Hello, hope you’re all keeping well. Thanks to everyone who has been buying my books, and if you haven’t already, here’s where you can find them all.

  • Hope the weather isn’t too bad where you are. It’s cold and a bit bleak in the midlands, but we’re still able to go to work. And I’ve been to the gym three times last week. How is it that you can take months to get fit and then after two weeks of mince pies,…

  • Wishing everyone who follows my blog, and other places, a very Happy New Year – 2017. It doesn’t seem a minute since last time does it? We’re still relaxing after Christmas and enjoying the mid-winter break, even though we didn’t actually have much time off work. It’s always good to spend time with family though,…

  • I’m having a good writing week with a new Alfie dog story out, Martha knows best, and a letter in Writing magazine, and a piece on the lovely Lynne Hackles page, Random inspiration people. Thanks, Lynne for buying my book as well. Also Redington is now available in a book shop in Walsall, if you…

  • I started back at the gym this week. On Wednesday morning and again this morning, I went on the rowing machine, treadmill, bike and then the cross-trainer. After that mat excercises and stretches to cool down. I’m lucky to have a personal trainer, who says, no do those planks for a bit longer, and no,…
