If you fancy having a go at writing articles, I would say, choose a subject that you know quite a bit about. I first began in 1981, when I did a writing course with the Writing School, London. As they told us to write what you know, I put together an article on a disappearing…

While you’re enjoying your Easter eggs, have a look at the new edition of Words with Jam. My article is on page 18. There’s a swear word in there, so if you don’t like that kind of thing don’t look. It’s all in the best possible taste though. Have a look here. Don’t leave your Easter…

Flowers for Mother’s Day. Hope all Mothers are relaxing in the way they like best. If you want to follow Patsy on her blog tour, she’s over at Teresa’s today. Now that’s a real treat for me as Patsy and Teresa are my two favourite story writers. They have that skill that I think goes…

Today we have been in our shop for four years. It’s in the middle of an estate, where people pop in to say hello, and other things that are more personal. It’s lovely chatting to them, and listening to different stories, funny or touching sometimes. We came home a bit earlier today as it’s started…

Thanks Patsy for this lovely award. It looked so tasty that I went and made cheese scones immediately. My meringues tend to be a bit gooey, and didn’t have strawberries and cream in the cupboard. Here’s the cheese scone recipe:- 6oz self-raising flour. 2oz marge (stork) pinch of salt, pepper, half teaspoon of mustard powder, herbs of…

Books I’m reading at the moment are ‘Snuff’ by Terry Pratchett which is so funny it’s untrue. I’ve also started reading ‘Dangerous Deceit’ by Ross Gemmell. It’s a romance and will post more on that when I’ve finished it. I had the Oxford book of quotations from Mum and Dad for Christmas which is brilliant. …
