How many of us have sat back, possibly after a few glasses of our favourite beverage and thought; ‘yes, I could write a novel…if only I had the time!’ Well, now there’s no excuse not to grab your writing implement of choice, be that pen and notebook, typewriter or laptop and spend thirty days (and… Continue reading On the eve of NaNoWriMo…
One of those weeks…
This week has been One Of Those. The kind of week where everything is just that little bit more complicated than it needs to be. Of course, it's the last week of the school term, and it doesn't help that not only are there two knackered children in the house, one who's just completed her… Continue reading One of those weeks…
The Second Chance Teashop by Fay Keenan
Thank you so much, Lisa, for this lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book 🙂 ❤ xxx
Cleggmania comes to Somerset
When the event popped up on Facebook via the page of Wells councillor and former MP Tessa Munt that none other than former Deputy PM and leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg was going to be speaking at a lunch in Mark village hall, I have to admit, I blinked. Mark is an utterly… Continue reading Cleggmania comes to Somerset
Prose and Process…
Since I finished looking over the copy edit of book 2, I've started to get really stuck in to writing book 3 of the Little Somerby series. As usual, this has led to much thought about what my 'process' is when I'm writing, so I thought I'd try to document some of that here, for… Continue reading Prose and Process…

Left on the shelf(ie)
Life has rather taken over for the past few weeks and I've not written much in this blog. However, I couldn't let this week pass without making reference to the fact that my first novel, The Second Chance Tea Shop, is now on the shelves in Sainsbury's supermarket stores nationwide. When I got the email from… Continue reading Left on the shelf(ie)
Galactosaemia and POF
A really powerful and emotional post from my friend Emma about her condition. Links in post for anyone who might be able to help. Much love, lovely lady xxx
The day has come…
Today is the day I've been fantasising about for months (and, after six weeks of having my lovely daughters with me virtually 24/7, dreamed about!). My youngest daughter has gone to school for the first time. And I feel so, so weird. I know I'll get used to it; after all, having a good chunk… Continue reading The day has come…
Friends and Family
So looking forward to hearing about my friend Nerys’ travelling adventure with her family! ❤ ❤ ❤
A Family Learning to Live Outside the Lines
Before I get started with proper travelling blogs (the next one will be about our first week travelling in Hong Kong ) I wanted to maybe make more of a statement with this one about how we have arrived at this point as a travelling family.
We wanted to say thank you to all of our friends who have helped us get to the point where we have left the country with a house packed up for rent and pets and belongings dispersed far and wide. So this is for all for you …. x
First of all, we want to say thank you to all of those who have taken part in the many send offs we have had – Early Hen Do’s, Coldplay concert’s, BBQ’s, drinking sessions and Last Suppers. We thoroughly enjoyed them all and although they may have delayed us in our packing plans so that…
