It’s beginning to look…

The Christmas tree used to be a family affair. We’d chose it together and then decorate it as a team effort.

Now the children have all gone and I have to do it myself ready for when they fly back just before the big day. I’m trying to think of that not as sad, just different.

Micro-blogging

Micro-blogging

We're all busy, right? Mad busy sometimes, which is how my year has felt. I've written three book, made ten trips abroad, run two Writer's Retreats, renovated chunks of my home, managed my kids and tried to support my elderly parents, etc, etc, etc.

But you understand all this, don't you, because I bet you are mad busy too. My busyness is just the same as yours or anyone else's. Life is just hectic. There's no getting around that.

Despite the lack of available time in my day, I still like to blog. I just struggle to find the space to do it. So I came up with something I thought might help. A micro blog! It's a bit like a story on Instagram or Facebook (so that's what I've called it here too), a kind of snapshot of what's happening in my world. It appears as soon as you visit my page, sliding in down the right hand side, but if you're interested in digging in a little deeper then just hit the Story button on the menu and they will all appear. And they don't disappear after a day!

I hope you enjoy them. I haven't abandoned blogging entirely but hopefully these little tasters will help fill the gaps!

I look forward to seeing you.

First snow!

It’s snowed overnight. The first of the new winter.

I have a complicated relationship with snow. I love it when I’m in the mood (or I’m skiing) but I really don’t like getting cold. Maybe I need a better coat!

A chocolate biscuit. . .

I’ve been racing about so much recently that it’s actually lovely to spend some time in my office.

I have my home made latte (no art. It’s more of a cappuccino really!) And my favourite biscuit and all’s right with the world.

Hieroglyphics!

I could spend hours looking at hieroglyphics. I love all the birds. And this little chap.

I wish I could read them. Even if I learned them all they aren’t spelling out English words!

A change of view

I have left Yorkshire again.

This time it is to fulfil one of my life’s ambitions- to visit Egypt. So far so incredible!

Soggy leaves!

I don’t know how autumn is shaping up where you are but it’s pretty darned wet here!

Lovely colours though (if you ignore the grey sky!)

Soggy leaves!

It feels like it’s never going to stop raining but at least the trees are looking beautiful this year.

Writing Retreat

Today I delivered a session on Editing followed by a whistle-stop tour of every writer’s favourite software – Scrivener.

And then lunch Tuscan style al fresco!

My Writing Retreat

I am so fortunate to have the chance to run a retreat in Tuscany which I where I am right now.

The writers are all arriving, flying in from all four corners of the world. It’s going to be a magical week.
