I’ve got a fabulous little green book called o level tests in English Language. Great if you’re stuck and wondering about ideas. Here’s a couple of ideas. Write about the following. 1. A day which started badly. Speaking of which, have you entered this competition yet? I’ve got my idea, just need to type it…

I wondered why it was called that until I tried it. It’s the richest thing I’ve ever eaten all in one go. There’s the shortbread base, which is one of my favourite, then a caramel toffee filling with nuts and raisins, also my favourite, topped with white chocolate, my absolute fave, so all in the…

You know sometimes you fancy a lovely cake and only a home-made one will do? Here’s mine. It’s got lemon juice in the mixture and some grated lemon rind. It’s a bit like stories. When you want the exact one, you have to write it yourself. I recently found a website for flash fiction. http://www.flash-fiction-world.com/…

Moving on from my last post which was slightly cynical for the festive season, but I do like to write something ‘different’ whenever I can. The Christmas double issue of People’s Friend is fabulous. It’s got a recipe in there for millionaire shortbread which I am going to attempt in a minute. There’s plenty of…

Thanks to Patsy for this lovely award. Looks quite stylish doesn’t it? Now I need to tell you 7 things about me that you might not already know. 1. I listen to the radio while I’m at work making up holly wreaths. Today it was five live in the workshop and radio 2 in the…

Today was the last date that Dandy comic is published. I’ve been listening to the radio while making up the holly wreaths and crosses, it’ll still be available to download and view on the internet, but that’s not quite the same as a paper comic is it? http://www.channel4.com/news/dandy-desperate-dan-internet-dc-thompson Tells you about it here.
