http://www.cohorte.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/photo-1.jpg This weekend I took Daughter #1 to the Curzon Cinema in Clevedon (Europe's oldest functioning cinema, don't you know?) to experience a special screening of the 1986 Jim Henson classic, Labyrinth. Much like, as the Bristol Evening Post recently rather sneeringly put it, quite a few viewers 'of a certain age', Labyrinth was memorable for me,… Continue reading Feeling the (Dance) Magic…

I Can’t Dance…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNJVFloPIVA I'm always discovering new things about the process behind my writing, and as I'm as fascinated by the 'nuts and bolts' of the craft as I am the actual stories, I thought I'd write a little blog post. I can't dance. As a little girl, I had notions of being a ballerina, but my… Continue reading I Can’t Dance…
Keeping well, feeling better. A good start.
Earlier this week I wrote about how I wanted to make some changes to my approach to my life, so I thought I'd post a quick update to let you know how it's going, and add some pretty pictures of things that have helped me to make things better this week. Since 28th December, I've… Continue reading Keeping well, feeling better. A good start.
Slimming World: Back to the beginning (almost!)
So it's been a really weird few weeks. Christmas threw me out of sorts in a lot of ways, some good, some not so good, and, to be honest, I don't think I've been on top of much for about five or six weeks now! That, of course, has had a knock on effect on… Continue reading Slimming World: Back to the beginning (almost!)
Backwell Books-in-a-bag project
Such a fab initiative - proud to be a part of such an awesome school (love, love, love the librarians!).
Christmas Telly: And Then There Were None.
No Christmas would be complete without a decent murder mystery. As John Robertson tweeted recently; 'The Brits love murder. It gives them something to do between Morris dancing and bitching about Morris dancing.' And, considering my affection for all things cosy crime related, from Agatha Christie to Lewis and Midsomer Murders, I was bound to… Continue reading Christmas Telly: And Then There Were None.

Slimming World: time to reflect
It's been a while since I've blogged about my weight loss progress, and that's because things have been going generally well, with a couple of blips along the way. Including, if I'm honest, this week so far! I got my 1 stone award a few weeks back, which was a real milestone, but I've been… Continue reading Slimming World: time to reflect
Throwback Texts: Sex, Lies and Videotape (and my vidding response to it).
A song came on in the car today that really got me into the mood for writing about the protagonists in my second novel, Sweeter than Cider, Jonathan and Caroline. It was Bryan Ferry's 'Slave to Love'. This is a song I've long loved, and a few years ago I made a fanvid for the film Sex, Lies… Continue reading Throwback Texts: Sex, Lies and Videotape (and my vidding response to it).
A little textual analysis: Return to Me, Grace and Bob’s reunion.
It's been one of those weekends where I need a little romance in my life! A week of poorly children, a cough and cold myself and a husband who, let's be honest, still needs a little bit of training into how to effectively stop children from trashing the house on his shift have made me… Continue reading A little textual analysis: Return to Me, Grace and Bob’s reunion.
