When I was in my twenties we followed a band around. The guitarist, Eric, was a friend of my husbands’. They would practice in the room of a local amateur football club, and we’d go there to watch. Eric told me he’d written a song using my name. I was thrilled. Of all the songs… Continue reading Well, I didn’t see that coming!

Oh, That’s Right, I’m Busy!
This blog began over seven years ago when I simply posted reviews for every book I read. However, it was when I joined Norns Triad Publications that I learnt how to do it properly. These days it’s a mixture of book reviews and articles. So instead of having a conversation in my head, I write… Continue reading Oh, That’s Right, I’m Busy!
Who Are they?
Recently, Darlene Foster shared some of her old family photographs. Despite not knowing any of them, I found them really interesting to look at. They captured a time from all our pasts where things were so different to what they are today. So on that note, I’m sharing some very old family photos that have… Continue reading Who Are they?
More Memories in Photographs

I’m lucky that my husband buys me flowers every so often, and at the weekend he bought me these. But it is the vase… Continue reading Stories of Things that Hardly Matter

A Photographic Walk in Cemaes Bay
I live on the island of Anglesey and on New Year’s Day we, my husband and I, decided to go over to Cemaes Bay. It’s pronounced with a soft sounding K and e as in egg, with mice at the end. Information boards are a great way to find out more about the place you… Continue reading A Photographic Walk in Cemaes Bay

Over the Christmas period I watched two programmes that I really enjoyed. The first one was the multi-talented Luke Evans who hosted his own show. If you don’t know him is is a Welsh singer and actor. He has a great voice and the show was entertaining. One of his guests was Leann Rimes. I… Continue reading Natural People
