recent posts

Hello, and welcome to my website ~ here you will get a view on my books and life as a published author. It’s been a long journey to getting here ~ finally I am now writing full time and hope you enjoy what you find here. If you want to get in touch, follow the links, and I’ll get back to you soon.

Susan Jones writes romantic drama with a touch of humour, and historical sagas as Lydia King. She lives in North Warwickshire, and loves walking through the beautiful woodlands where she lives, and gardening and reading are her pastimes.

  • More garden pictures

    It’s a good time to tie up tomatoes and perennials to support them from the rain and wind. Make sure you give flowers and vegetables some miracle grow or phostrogen as well, it’ll make a difference to the colours and how long they’ll last into the months ahead. The computer course is going well, I’m…

  • Welcome to Mid-summer.

    Birds are tweeting, grass is being cut, sun’s shining and it’s great to be in England. It’s all happening in the garden now. Let’s start at the front… Alan dug up an overgrown, ugly old bush earlier on in the year. In it’s place, there are grass seeds coming up, looking lush. Beware of boxes…

  • The Glory of the Garden.

    The Glory of the Garden Our England is a garden that is full of stately views, Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues, With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by; But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye. Rudyard Kipling. To read the rest of the…

  • To coin a cliche.

    Take a look at Ruth’s post here.  I have an affection for the cliché; I know they’re classed in the writing world as wrong. In this months Writing magazine one of the letters is from a reader who is in despair at being told her work was loaded with the little gems. I’ve sent in…

  • Reality check.

    Remember when I said I’d sent a letter in to That’s Life back in January? Well I had an email to say that my letter is in this weeks edition. Issue 13 dated 28th March. They’re always looking for funny stories, so if you have any, send them in. It’s nice when you hear, ‘The…

  • Giggle blog.

    At the start of every month, I’ll be doing a giggle blog. I’m sure we all love a bit of a giggle, as long as nobody’s being made a fool of, that wouldn’t be nice. The thing that made me giggle yesterday was this. A lady came and did a bit of shopping, as you…

  • Sewing the seeds.

    Daughter Ann’s been sewing seeds while she’s waiting for an operation. This is the cress, also there are cherry tomatoes and broccoli. So the windowsill looks like a mini nursery at the moment. Not only is cress easy to grow, its sprouting after only three days. Ideal for the children to do during half term,…

  • Garden mascot.

    This little chap always makes me smile. I know he’s a bit on the bright side, but that’s the best way to be I think. He’s a mascot in our garden. When we moved house years ago, the removal men where aghast. Saying ‘What’s that thing?’ They weren’t keen to pick him up as they…

  • New years day in the Garden.

    New years day in the Garden.

    It was a lovely sunny day here in Warwickshire, ideal for planting some bulbs. The pack said to plant by end of December, so they’ll make a splash of colour in mid to late spring. I love to grow lettuce in the winter months, the variety rosetta gives shiny leaves and tastes quite sweet. The…

  • Lovely Abums.

    Here’s some pictures of my lovely abums.  All through childhood I called all flowers abums.  Reason being that my Grandad and Grandma has a plant nursery, and the topics of conversation that I always overheard at this time of the year were ‘lovely chrysanthemums’  They grew fields full of beautiful blooms for market, or customers who…
