Truth is, I’ve enjoyed writing different topics, and sharing some of the super posts from… Continue reading On a Roll

When I'm not writing I enjoy making greeting cards and paper-crafting in general. I’ve made all sorts of craft and it enables me to incorporate my love of cross stitching. Here are a few I made last year. A quick stitch I found in a magazine that fitted nicely in this card. A card put… Continue reading Paper-Craft

I live on the island of Anglesey. Yesterday was New Year’s Day, and today dawned with beautiful pale blue skies. The odd cloud scuttled it’s away across as I did my chores.

I've always wanted to draw, particularly using a pencil. Sadly, I didn't possess any natural talent. Not like brother who was gifted. I took to writing instead, where I could paint my pictures with words. In 2020 during lockdown, I came across an article which said You don't have to be born an artist, you… Continue reading Can you draw? Well Yes, I can now.

It’s going dark!

The last Saturday in October our clocks went back one hour. When I was younger it was always difficult to remember, but not anymore. Since we’ve all learnt that certain countries call the Autumn Fall, we can now align it with the seasons and thus making it easier to remember. Fall back and Spring forward… Continue reading It’s going dark!
