I have been trying to sort out my ever-growing collection of photographs as I am a bit of a hoarder; things have been getting out of hand lately. Actually finding what I’m looking for is proving to be not only impossible but downright frustrating, even though I know what I’m looking for is there…

Nine Lives was my debut novel, one I made such a lot of mistakes with. Feel free to comment, advise or criticise, as I am very interested in improving my craft.

Anita has volunteered to take charge today, as my head still feels as if it is full of porridge… A Pane of Glass… Through my window, I watch the three hazelnut trees across the road from my house. In the autumn, the leaves change colour and fall and the old bird’s nest comes into view.…

I recently wrote a post about how our house was fast becoming a cat motel and the need for a revolving door cat flap. It was an amusing situation, although it was costing us extra money for the extra cat food. But with the onset of The Beast from the East and all this…

The bay windows in our living room have long been a source of annoyance. Over the years, we have had an assortment of curtains and blinds, but none were good enough to pass muster. Every time we walk into the room, our eyes are drawn to the awfulness of it all and the long-standing…

We have been with WordPress for years now and always been happy with the facilities, once I had mastered them, of course! Early last year, I had to upgrade our account in order to gain more media space. At the time, this seemed reasonable. Imagine my surprise when it happened again yesterday.…

Earlier this year, I was surfing the web and saw something that literally grabbed my imagination from a company called Snow Windows.
