  • Just back from a few days in the English Riviera. This time we found time to go on the Torquay Eye, that’s the view from the top. We also had chance to check up on the country estate, it was in a bit of a state, but the gardens are fabulous. Anybody know where it…

  • Here’s our wedding photo from 2008. The reason I’m putting this here is because when I updated Facebook to put that I’m married, it immediately assumed I meant we’d got married on that day. So it doesn’t know much does it? I’m 12,000 words into the next book in the Redington/Country Matters series. This one’s…

  • It’s that time of the year when we assess all that’s gone on and if it was a good year. We welcomed our first grandchild into the world this year, that was exciting, and looking forward to spending time with family most of all. So happy to be all together this Christmas, and looking forward…

  • I’m bucking the trend, in my nifty new jacket…

  • Hello to all my lovely followers, I’ve neglected the blog a bit lately, as we’ve been away on a break, and also relaxing and doing things. We had a break in Torbay, so that gave us change to catch up with family, and get a pic of the pirate on the boat. Torre Abbey gardens…
