This is a beautifully written short tale about Calvin and his family of swans. Seeing humans through their eyes makes for a wonderful story. People can be sweet and kind, but some are less so. Although this is primarily aimed at children, I don’t see why adults can’t enjoy it too. I certainly did, as… Continue reading Calvin, The Swan Prince by Rose English

Mr Perkins and the Jumpy Puppy by Suzanne Stephenson
This book is simply delightful. I hadn’t realised when I downloaded it that it was written entirely in poetry. The whole story is told in verse, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Who doesn’t love cute cats and dogs? Poppy is a sweet, boisterous young pup from the local dogs’ home who takes… Continue reading Mr Perkins and the Jumpy Puppy by Suzanne Stephenson
Do you fancy taking a Ride?
That’s good because it’s National I love Horses Day Unfortunately, I lost the only photo I have of me riding a horse. So instead here is a photo of my mother with her sister and brother in the fifties. I did a lot of horse riding as a child and teenager, but the last time… Continue reading Do you fancy taking a Ride?
What Are They?
Recently my sister and I were walking in the local park with the dogs when we came across piles of earth like this. What are those, she asked. Immediately, I was transported back to being a young child. When we went camping, Mum would cook dinner and Dad would take us out. He’d find a… Continue reading What Are They?

Most journals have a monthly theme and I often struggle to come up with one. I’m not very artistic but what I do is pretty and… Continue reading Reblogged June 2024 Bullet Journal Setup – A Desert Theme

This is… Continue reading My Review of Broken by Ellen Read
My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins
I've reached the final instalment of the series and what a finale. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey into the end of the world where all the adults have died leaving the children in charge. I found the story to be moving, challenging, dark, and simply brilliant. The children from book one have grown… Continue reading My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins
My Review – Ceekee The Mermaid Cop
I had the honour of reading Ceekee, The Mermaid Cop before the publication date as an ARC and I loved it. The story is sweet and kind with a moral behind it. The young author's imagination brought us the sweet mermaid cop in such a delightful story. Along with the vivid illustrations it is an… Continue reading My Review – Ceekee The Mermaid Cop
Karen’s Chat on Free Thought
I took a break from Facebook during Christmas. It was nice to not endlessly scroll and feel the need to like and comment all the time. It’s a constant information overload knowing what everyone else is doing all the time, and in a way getting involved in their lives. When I returned to social media,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Free Thought
