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.

    I was serving up our Sunday dinner tonight, lovely boiled ham, cabbage, carrots, peas and parsley sauce, with new potatoes from the garden when I had a text message.  One saying, you’ve won a competition.  I thought ‘oh yes, I know, you’ve won a cruise, just ring this number and blah blah blah, I almost…

  • Be inspired.

    I’ve been tagged by Juliet Greenwood author of Eden’s Garden, which I was lucky enough to win a while ago.  It’s a brilliant book, and will review it when I’ve read it all.  Puts me in mind of Charles Dickens, with more romance. So now I’m going to answer Juliet’s questions about my book!!! Well,…

        Thanks Patsy for this lovely flower, looks like a gerbra to me.  I’ll soon be planting some marigold seeds, and sweetpeas as I can’t resist the smell of them on the windowsill.  So here’s a few things about me. (Apart from that the flower picture has gone) So, here’s my grumpy pansy instead. 1.  I…

  • What’s your favourite Dicken’s story?

    On my other blog which I don’t use that often, I was tagged by Teresa. As most people have been tagged, I linked to this blog, where I asked which Charles Dicken’s book I like best.  I love the Oliver Twist musical by Lionel Bart, and Great Expectations is full of great characters, but the…

  • The Milkshakes.

    Meet the Milkshakes.  Hope you enjoy reading.  With all the warmer weather, soon be time to start clearing the garden.  We’ve got some hyacinth bulbs beginning to flower, they smell wonderful.  I’ve grown some in compost in bowls, and tried some in a plastic cup of water; experimenting to see which come out best.  At the…
