In Sept 2010, I lost my parents, and to help me get over the grief, my husband suggested we get a dog. He wasn’t a dog person, so this was a big thing. In early 2011 we picked up an eight year old Yorkshire terrier named Jodie. My husband adored her and soon she became… Continue reading Happy Birthday To My Girl

Ding Doing, Avon Calling
It's been a great month for Avon, my third with the company. I am loving the products they offer as they are all of good value, attractive and sweet-smelling. You may even have seen adverts on the television recently too. As a result of that, I've had extra orders.For myself, I've ordered the beautiful Lavenda… Continue reading Ding Doing, Avon Calling
Advent Calendars
I love them, but then again I love chocolate even though it is not really good for me. Occasionally, hubby will buy me one, but apart from that I haven't had one for a few years. This year is I shall, and courtesy of Avon. This one contains all these goodies: 25-piece festive silver plated… Continue reading Advent Calendars
Books, Lovely Books!
These are all of the books I’ve read this year. I’ve taken this screenshot from Goodreads. One thing I don’t much care for is how it shows old covers, and I can’t update them. I’ve just watched a really good video on YouTube from a fellow bibliophile, which prompted me to show you this. If… Continue reading Books, Lovely Books!

Well, that's not strictly true. I do have a couple still available. I took all of mine offline this year because I got a new editor, and realised I needed to rewrite every single one. Not a quick or easy task. I reckon it will take me a couple of years to do them all.… Continue reading No books For Sale Here

This is so interesting that I thought I would share it, my fellow Norns Triad author Temari James has a new blog, so hit the follow button, too. Before I officially became an author I used to write little stories and store them inside a shoebox. And even though they were absolute crap I held… Continue reading My Words Are Weapons

I went to a friend's house recently and she had some beautiful pictures on the wall. On closer inspection they were… Continue reading A Summer House and A Bee
National Father in Law Day
My father in law passed away early 1983. I’d known him for five years. We had a great relationship. He was the biggest kidder going and I was young and naive. In their caravan, they had a dried star fish and he told me it was in suspended animation and if put back into water,… Continue reading National Father in Law Day
International Tiger Day!
In honour of this day here is a cross stitch picture I did back in 2003. I really loved stitching this one. I remember taking it on holiday to Anglesey and would sit in the lounge of the B&B stitching. Lots of people took an interest in what I was doing, and it was nice… Continue reading International Tiger Day!
