December is never a good time to move house. We should know – all of our moves have taken place in December due to differing circumstances. This December however was the hardest of the lot. We drove off in the car loaded with bedding, three dogs and essentials of life for the first few days. […]

Full speed ahead to nowhere
With new restrictions and rules changing almost weekly it seemed we were moving at full speed but going nowhere. Suddenly time seemed to speed up as the deadline to move came ever closer yet we were still floating in a sea of uncertainty. Moving home was one of the exceptions to the lockdown but only […]

Travelling more hopefully
As the warm weather arrived we began to travel more hopefully. Despite our best efforts we could not finance a house before selling ours so the plan was to sell, put our stuff in storage, move into a rental property and then look for somewhere permanent. Seemed a fairly logical way to go about it, […]

And so it begins – rather slowly
So, there we were, both more than slightly incapacitated. I don’t know what we had caught or where we had caught it, but I never want to get it again. It began a bit like the ‘flu with a high temperature, shaking – you know what it’s like. Then there was the cough, and that […]

A bit of an Adventure
Hello, welcome back and many apologies for my long absence. As some of you may know I have been on a bit of an adventure – a bit more of an adventure than I anticipated when I began – and many things have changed over the last months. I want to share this journey with […]

Small changes in strange times
These are strange times, there’s no avoiding that idea, and like everyone else I am having to make changes to my life, my work and my expectations. Life is, of course, somewhat constrained at present though I am probably luckier than most in that I work from home and generally work alone so it’s not […]

Living in the Past II – and my Superpower
There is a lot of nostalgia for the past floating around at the moment. Things were so much simpler, there was a stronger sense of community, we knew our place in the world… Well, I lived in this “past” and I struggle to recognise it from the discussions around me. This is the past I […]

Living in the Past
Whoever said “Don’t live in the past but look to the future” was only half right – and they probably were not a writer. For us the past is our own personal goldmine, the source of characters, events, adventures and the occasional quirky phrase we slip in to get a smile from the reader. The […]

The Hazards of Travelling – Adventures on the Autoroute
I’ve just returned from a short trip away and very enjoyable it was too. A hop across the Channel (or under it in this case), a few nights in a favourite little town and “le shopping”. But somehow it is not possible to escape everyday life especially if, like me, you are a bit of […]
