Welcome, it’s a New Blog
This is going to take a while to find my footing again. I have a lot to share with you, but I’m not too sure where to start. My husband and I have just come back from a week and a half traveling around the north of England and Scotland.
Though the journey was long we were able to do it in stages as we travelled up from Essex. First we stayed with my niece in Scunthorpe for a night and then we headed in to Scotland to stay with our friend, Dave. He had just bought a wonderful home in Crail, Fife. The harbour was picturesque with amazing sea birds, and seals swimming.

Our Journey to Scotland
After staying a night with Dave we continued our journey to Helmsdale. Helmsdale was another wonderful small fishing port. Russell and I were booked into a hotel close to Scotland’s Indie Book Festival. We arrived at Helmsdale in time to hear Barbara Stevenson talk about her work. Her writing is full of musical references. Now she’s busy writing her fourth book in a series of Neolithic whodunits set in Orkney (The Maran Mysteries) She explained to us how she’s including music in these books as Neolithic people used drums within festivals and funerals by beating a rhythmic tune as the people walked along. Barbara also writes dark fantasy and supernatural horror set on a fictional North Sea island where time plays tricks.
