  • Seeing as it’s the last day, I’ll slip this in to show I’m not missing any months out of the blogging habit. First, the good news is that I am mastering knitting socks! Or should I say sock? I started one with double knitting wool, and large double ended needle, and it’s turned out to…

  • Newsletter time, from Jones writing hub. Journaling, reminded me of my journalist days. When I’d research a topic, find a market, sometimes the other way around. Then submit the idea, yes via brown A4 envelope with return postage inside, then wait. It was exciting especially when a phone call came to say. ‘We’d like to…

  • Hello everyone, hope your spring is going well. This newsletter is to let you know I’m still a tropic ambassador. Joining when I turned a big birthday, you can take your own guess which one, as it doesn’t need broadcasting. Other than to say my treat to me for getting to a milestone age was…

  • We all start somewhere, and for me, before I could even write by the age of 5, I was an avid reader, and knew I wanted to write books. Fair to say it’s taken me a while to get to ‘books’ but the amount of poetry and jottings and diary entries I used to do…

  • 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…

  • NEWSLETTER                                                            Blogging/is it still worthwhile?
