never knowingly without a pen
Well, friends, we've made it. Thank you so much for being with me on this blogging extravaganza of thirty whole days! And doesn't the world look different today? As I look out at our frosty garden, I can hardly believe that it's only been one month since my husband, Andrew, and our son were in… Continue reading Wordy Wednesday – #NaBloPoMo – we did it!
Never done a Gratituesday post before which is surprising, considering how grateful I am to so many people. I don't have enough photos to share here so apologies for that. Rest assured, they are extremely photogenic, all of my family and extended family and I'm very grateful to them. Even when we're arguing we love each… Continue reading Gratituesday
It's Day 28 of National Blog Posting Month and I'm running out of ideas. I'm running out of clean socks and pants. No matter how many I buy, no matter how many I wash, they disappear. I'm running out of apples, pears and oranges because my kids keep eating them. I'm running out of food… Continue reading Running out of….

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
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
after Anthony Wilson's To Autumn I love walking I hate leaving the house I love wearing wellies I hate rain in my socks I love the sound of rain hitting the windows I hate rain down the back of my neck I love the thought of coming home to a warm house I hate… Continue reading O Autumn!
With Christmas approaching (sorry, can't deny it any longer), I thought that now would be a good time to mention these beautiful pamphlets from Candlestick Press which would definitely make a wonderful present for many people I know, even though their tag line suggests modestly that you might give them "instead of a card." (which is… Continue reading Candlestick Press Pamphlets
