Far off in the WAY distant future

It’s been FUH-EVAH since I’ve joined up with the lovely Finish the Sentence Friday crew (first blog-hop I ever joined, and the one which provided me some of my most enduring blogging connections) so I’m DELIGHTED to be back with them today, and not only that, but co-hosting, which means you can join in and…

P.S.A. I found something which works…

Happy Monday to you, lovelies. Goodness, it’s been so long since I’ve written anything for a Monday, I’ve almost forgotten how it goes. Hopefully the cobwebs will fall from the ‘how it’s done’ as I get on and do it, and everything will go according to plan (the plan being that you read this, engage…

Ten Things of Thankful 123 (Here be Heroes) #10Thankful

I’ve had a (mostly) good week. I think. I’m not even that tired as I write, but the threads of memory seem to be drifting in the breeze. As good as the week has been, it’s also been a slog, and right now I want to sit on a deck-chair in the sunshine, under bright…

Gunning for everyone to care about #GunSense

I don’t know how to write this, other than to climb onto my soapbox and plead to the skies to be heard; to have my thoughts acknowledged and recognised – for once not by the people who visit here (because I’m pretty sure most would be in agreement, and if not, the disagreement would at…

The Village Needs to Get in Touch (a #1000Speak post)

I know you’ve been dying to hear about my Murica trip, and what better place to begin than here, with #1000Speak, and this month’s topic of LOVE? For it was love which inspired the trip and started it going; love which sustained it and kept me going; and love which was the central theme of…

Ten Things of Thankful (Even Though I Never Figured Out The Number) #10Thankful

Have you ever really stopped to consider your impact on other people? Maybe those young, impressionable faces in your lives, who look up to you as a role model, and who will be silently taking on board the way you live your life; the way you approach a challenge; the way you celebrate; the way…

They don’t tell you that. Tear.

Tear. You can have it both ways with this one – ‘tear’, as in the things which drown my eyes and shine tracks down my face in the lamplight; or ‘tear’, as in the portion of my heart which ripped and ripped again with each loss and each reminder. A year ago today I shared…

Ten Things of Thankful (not sure what number) #10Thankful

I’M BACK! Lookit – my first proper blog post since arriving back in England is a Ten Things of Thankful. Which seems fitting, if I remember how to write and Do All The Things. I’m pretty sure it’s like riding a bicycle though – figure it out once when you’re a kid and there’s no…

When I’m Gone

My lovelies, I know you’re excited too, but I have been building anticipation for this Murica trip for OVER A YEAR, and it’s *so* close I can taste it! When I pause and think that IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS I will be on the plane…and that in less than 26 (all things being equal),…

Happy Mix-tape Birthday, Precious

  Dear Precious I realise this is something of an ‘open letter’ format (a vehicle I’m still not entirely sure I like, though I admit it serves its purpose) but in writing this post in this way, I have the opportunity to spin words around you in a shimmering cloud, creating the illusion of intimacy,…
