Writers in Warwickshire
Kenilworth Castle
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 was in full flow.

Oh to be in England
Oh to be in England
Home-Thoughts, from Abroad By Robert BrowningOh, to be in England Now that April’s there, And whoever wakes in England Sees, some morning, unaware, That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough In England—now! I love this, and there’s nowhere better to be when the blossoms are looking so beautiful around…

Bit of a clanger You may remember that I've recently released A Factory Affair, and done a giveaway on the blog.
Springtime
Are you seeing signs of springtime around and about? Here’s a few pictures I captured in the garden earlier that show it’s only a matter of time before we have an explosion of colour and prettiness abound.
Hope you enjoy the array of springtime flowers.
Do you remember I was going to have a wardrobe chuck-away? Well I have thrown lots away, and taken pics of things I’m keeping to see what I’ve…

Something to smile about… My paperback version of A Factory Affair has arrived, and to celebrate, I’m doing a giveaway. All you have to do if you want to be in the draw is put a comment on the blog. Then Alan will draw a name from the hat on February 19th.

Why have a subscription?
Why have a subscription?
First of all, you will have these pocket novels delivered to your door every month. I had the bottom two today and can’t wait to read them.
Second, if you’re aiming to write a pocket novel and get it published, the only way to know what the editor wants is to read what she is accepting and publishing.
Thirdly, the stories are exciting, romantic, good fun and enormously entertaining and don’t…

Into the New Year
Into the New Year
Hope the weather isn’t too bad where you are. It’s cold and a bit bleak in the midlands, but we’re still able to go to work. And I’ve been to the gym three times last week. How is it that you can take months to get fit and then after two weeks of mince pies, chocolates and other food, you’re almost a stone heavier? So it’s back to the green tea for a while. Good job I like it.
Do you want to be a…

Redington on kindle
Thanks to the lovely people who’re buying Redington on kindle, hope you enjoy the stories, and don’t be shy to leave a review if it’s going to be a good one.
My mum in law phoned to wish us Happy New Year and she was full of excitement. She’d found a copy of the paperback book Redington in my brother in law’s house over Christmas.
I found a book with your name on!She told me, and now her sister…

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017
Wishing everyone who follows my blog, and other places, a very Happy New Year – 2017.
It doesn’t seem a minute since last time does it? We’re still relaxing after Christmas and enjoying the mid-winder break, even though we didn’t actually have much time off work. It’s always good to spend time with family though, and catch up with reading. Now I’m making plans for a new…

Family time
We had fun today, opening presents with Ann and Sophie as they’re going to her other gran and grandad’s for Christmas Day.
Here is the must have p’j’s – clangers and the unicorn handbag for all the best dressed girls about town.
And in the middle picture, pink fluffy marshmallow dressing gown for when a young lady is chilling on the settee.
Speaking of the settee, no day is complete without…

Happy Birthday - Dad 80 today
Happy Birthday – Dad 80 today
When your Dad has his 80th birthday, it’s a good reason to do a blog post.
There’s me and Sister Sal with Mom and Dad helping him to eat his lovely cake and sharing a cup of tea. We, or rather, I tried doing a photo of us all together but it turned out rubbish, so two separate ones makes more sense.
He said he doesn’t feel 80, and now he’s recovered after having a new knee, he’s raring to go…

Don't trifle with me
Don’t trifle with me
I’ve made one of my own. Reason being, we had some banana loaf that needed eating. It’s now the base of the trifle with some blackberry jam on. Then a layer of mandarins, red jelly and custard, with the topping you see here.
One good thing about the weather getting colder, is that we have a real fire. There’s nothing like watching real flames and warming your hands by the fire with a cup of tea…

Riviera days
Just back from a few days in the English Riviera.
This time we found time to go on the Torquay Eye, that’s the view from the top.
We also had chance to check up on the country estate, it was in a bit of a state, but the gardens are fabulous. Anybody know where it is? Well worth a look around to see how elaborate the building is and the gardens are spectacular with a team working on them all…

Life's a Gas
Life’s a Gas
It’s not every day I’d have a chance to post two of my favourite singers together, but we has a bit of a gas moment ourselves recently. The smell of gas was strong enough to call out an engineer. Turns out there was a slow leak next door, but the neighbours were away.
Thanks to a few helpful people, all was fixed, and we’re no longer getting high on gas fumes. There’s me going round thinking it…
