  • All going on in the garden, and book news. Hello everyone, haven’t we had some good summer days? As I’m typing this it’s been a day of heavy rainfall, but much needed for the garden and the woodlands, so can’t complain can we? I’ve read some great books lately, so let me tell you about…

  • 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…

  • Hello everyone, hope your June is going well so far. I had my monthly writing magazine through the letterbox a few days ago, and I’m in there. Talking about how old diaries can reveal good things. It’s hard not to throw pages away, especially as the house gets filled with folders, but I really love…

  • 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. I had my writing magazine yesterday, so it’s going to be a great weekend catching up with latest news and views on the writing world. Have you read my latest book…

  • Hello, and welcome to my July blog post. The garden is looking great and had some cucumber today on a cheese sandwich! So lovely and different from the shop bought ones. We’ve got lettuce, tomatoes, basil, spring onions, mint, parsley, thyme, lemon thyme, and peppers. Never eaten so many salads, but they’re really crispy and…

  • News and jottings from this month at the writing desk. Happy May time, or Beltane if you’re into the witchy woo stuff. I love all things mystical, and have lots of tarot packs, several crystal balls, and tons of crystals I wear and use all the time. Also numerology is getting quite addictive. Today I…

  • Here we are again, another month almost gone, and I’ve updated my picture. Exciting news, on Thursday 30th of the month, my pocket novel, Barbados Nights will be available to buy in Asda, Tesco’s, W.H Smiths, and all good newsagents. If you see one and have your mobile handy, would you mind doing a shelfie…

  • Hello everyone, hope your journey into springtime is going well. The year is zipping along, and what possessed me to tell you last month that I read a book a month. More than that now I come to log them down. Finished dinner lady detectives, a Christmas pressie from sister Sal, and also read a…

  •   Having a relaxing Sunday in our garden. Me and Alan have been enjoying some quiet time smelling the flowers and doing not much other than having a chat and dinner on the courtyard round the back.               Can you see how much I love petunias?     Alan’s…

  • This is what I’m off to read in the garden under the umbrella of course. It’s still hot here in Warwickshire, but before long I’ll be taking the plane journey with Serena off to the Caribbean. Better get a cool drink to go with it. It’s in the shops today. Sophie had good news today…
