If we were having coffee we'd be drinking tea or wine or hot chocolate because it's too late in the afternoon to drink coffee. I'd tell you that I'm carrying a knot of fear and dread around with me that reminds me of when I was a young teenager and I first read about nuclear… Continue reading If we were having coffee…. 13 November
Most mornings I check in to the WordPress Reader and glance through blogs I'm following. This morning, three good reads caught my eye and I'd like to share them with you. You might already know about Anthony Wilson's blog because I have mentioned it before. There is such a wealth of good articles there about… Continue reading Three blogs I read
This week's photo challenge at WordPress is 'Tiny'. I put a pea in the picture to show you how tiny the smallest doll is. We have quite a few sets of these Babushka Dolls as my daughter used to collect them. I suppose the picture really should be thumbnail To see everyone else's take on… Continue reading Tiny: smaller than a pea
I'm struggling to keep going with a blog a day.... but here I am. After the election of Donald Trump in the US and the EU referendum result in the UK, and with the rise of the far-Right in mainland Europe, not to mention the continued oppression of so many of the world's people in… Continue reading The miracle of keeping going

Gradually, I started using it more. And more. Looking back at my Instagram now I see several family holidays, posts about jobs… Continue reading Thoughts about Instagram
For years my favourite rollerball pen has been the Mitsubishi Vision Elite and it still holds a very dear place in my heart. Recently, however, I've been enticed by the fine-nibbed charms of the Mitsubishi Eye Needle. I think Andrew brought one home from work and I liked it so much I bought a pack… Continue reading My favourite pen and notebook
There's been a two-week break from the poetry classes I taught at Trowbridge Town Hall so I've been on half-term. This is the first time poetry has been on offer at the Town Hall - scriptwriting classes were available last year and there have been, and still are, drawing classes on the programme. My classes have… Continue reading What I did over Half-Term
Day Four of NaBloPoMo and NanoPoblano and the Weekly Photo Challenge at WordPress has arrived to save the day. Hurray! (how am I going to make it to day 30?!) Chaos is this week's photo challenge theme, a state of mind, being and household arrangements never far from my life (I live with two teenagers). Nor… Continue reading The chaos of an untidied garden
