words.photos.snark.

I work in book marketing, write a little, read far too much, love a good adventure and a glass of wine. I like to make up words. I'm sure this blog will be filled with words, writing, reviews and snark. All opinions are my own.

I can't go too far because I've injured my heel (and poor husband has tendonitis). I can think of worse places to relax on a Saturday. #amwriting #plotting #relaxing #garden #britishautumn #weekend #prosecco #blackberries

Our 2nd most deadly active volcano is:  Mt. Vesuvius

Mount Vesuvius in Campagnia, Italy has a history of activity that makes it one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes. It last erupted in 1944, but it usually has an eruption cycle of just 20 years. Moreover, 3 million people live relatively close to the crater, as it sits just 5 miles east of Naples. 

This makes it the most densely populated volcanic region in the entire world.Mt. Vesuvius is the only volcano to have erupted on the European mainland within the last hundred years, and is probably most famous for its massive eruption in 79 AD, when it buried the cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii.

Had to stop and take a picture of this tire swing with my iPad (sorry for the quality). Tire swing in London. I repeat: tire swing in London. It took all my will not to test it out and ruin my outfit. #tireswing #swing #london #autumn #fall #britishautumn (at London, United Kingdom)
