I seem to have spent my life having to change. So many times, due to ever changing circumstances, have caused me to rethink who I am, and how I want to be in the future. As much as I am used to making these changes, this past year has been something else. I have had…

Early last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had the idea to update our website. You may remember that it didn’t go well, and our website was a bit of a mess for a while. A lot has happened since then, but just recently, that old annoyance has made another appearance. You…

Some of you may have noticed that we sent a post out as a newsletter the other day. But I wasn’t completely happy with it, there were no bells and whistles. This was when I realisedhow much I have missed sending our newsletters out the proper way. I say proper, but they should be something…

As a child, I could rely on the weather and the seasons. It was always warm and sunny in the Summer and cold and invariably wet in the Winter. At least, that is how I remember it. It was comforting to know where you were and what to expect, that any deviations would always keep…

I’m sure I’m not the only one who dislikes changes. As I have grown older, I seem to hate them even more, presumably because I am happy with the way things are and see no earthly reason to change anything. When we are young, we are more likely to welcome changes. I mean, some of…

Every time I seem to be getting somewhere, whether it’s with everyday problems, health matters or PC related stuff, something has to stop me in my tracks. Making me rethink everything. You guessed it… I fell again. I was standing by my bed, folding my duvet. Something I have done a thousand times, when my…

I have been an editor/proof-reader for years and always considered myself reasonably good at my job. I never had any complaints, which is my benchmark for how good you really are. In fact, several Literary Agents complimented me on the quality of our submissions. English was always my favourite subject and I read a…

Although we live in a town, it isn’t an inner-city town. Tucked behind the South Downs in Hampshire, we are just 19 miles from the sea. An ordinary town really, rows of streets spreading out from the town centre with all manner of shops and businesses. The local council keep it tidy…
