Well, it's nearly the end of November and the daily blogging challenge, so it's nearly December and of course I still buy my children Advent Calendars. The chocolate thing is very new to me. I grew up in the 1960s and I was grateful just to open a window and see a donkey or a… Continue reading Advent Calendars: Weekly Photo Challenge

Poet in Residence at Trowbridge Town Hall
I'm coming near to the end of my residency at Trowbridge Town Hall so I thought I'd say a few words about it. I had hoped to accomplish a lot more (and I haven't finished yet!) although there was never a formal agreement about what my role would entail. I approached Tracy Sullivan, Director of Town Hall Arts… Continue reading Poet in Residence at Trowbridge Town Hall

Again, Summer Pierre has caught my mood well. I've been thinking about what to blog about and wondering if I should be… Continue reading Still here

Recently I found a letter she'd put into a box and left next to the mushrooms: Dear Fairies I have… Continue reading Fairies in the garden
Beyond the halfway mark : #NaBloPoMo Day 17
I've never thought of myself as a stubborn type but there must be something mulish about me as I persist in trying to reach the end of National Blog Posting Month. I am running out of blogging ideas and I am thinking about blogging when I should be doing other stuff. It's not meant to be like… Continue reading Beyond the halfway mark : #NaBloPoMo Day 17
