  • 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 hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine, rain, wind, howling gale did you have all that last night? Sounded like we were in the wild wilderness of Alaska, but it’s nice now, and we had our salad cob lunch outside in the garden. Still waiting for that special agent/publisher to get in touch, but…

  • 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…

  • Hope you’re all getting time to relax and catch up with family. That’s what I like best about this time between Christmas and New Year. Reflecting on how it’s been. For me it’s felt like and endless year, and things that happened a couple of months ago, seemed like much longer than that. Now, it’s…

  •   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…

  • It’s been a few months since I updated the blog – here’s me and Sophie having a swing in our local park. Always great to spend some time together, and she’s growing into a clever little girl. Making cakes and loving her reading books and spending lots of time outdoors.   The building work on…
