    Triple Beldon books

    Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it? I remember I had so many (felt like a hundred but was only 20) Trixie Belden  novels.

    I’m writing a novel

    Have I mentioned it? 18,000 words down. A labour of love. I’m learning a lot. About writing. About self discipline. About not being perfect. About having fun. Unsure when it will be finished. But I’m in no hurry. I’m trying to slow down and enjoy the process. I hope one day I can share it… Continue reading

    What is the greatest gift someone could give you? Isn’t knowing our purpose the path to fulfilment? Not sure. But it can’t hurt to understand why we were put on earth. In other reflections. A little snap from today’s outing. I liked the little bridge and the reflection. Stay well, friends. Continue reading

    Xmas celebrations

    What was the last thing you did for play or fun? Popped down to the local bar for a drink with hubby and friends. It was a nice warm evening and a cold glass of rose. Continue reading
