  • 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…

  • 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 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…

  • There’s nowhere like Warwickshire when the bluebells appear in the woodlands. Ann and Sophie have the same thoughts on a warm sunny April afternoon. Sophie is on the hunt for fairies.

  • 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…

  • Here’s what’s coming soon, and there will be a giveaway on the blog, so watch out for that. Looking forward to the RNA conference in July, and meeting up with other pocket novelists and romatic authors. I’m busy writing my next story, which hopefully should be finished before long. I’m on chapter 10 of 15,…

  • We’re fully stocked with salad leaves. At the moment it’s all year round lettuce, spinach and rocket leaves available in the kitchen garden. And growing on we have yellow courgettes, mini munch cucumber, tomatoes, money maker are my favourite variety. As well, we have normal cucumber, green courgettes, dwarf beans, and dwarf peas, lots of…

  • What a wonderful day, here in Warwickshire today. Blue sky, blossoms blooming and a lovely walk and chatter with my writing buddy and pal, Patsy Davies. It so happened that she and hubby Gary were passing through the leafy county and stopped off to look around Kenilworth Castle. Time flew by and the writing chatter…
