Bliss

The April edition of writing magazine arrived today. Time to curl up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate and indulge!

Is it in the stars?

Today's horoscope: 'Be ready for good news regarding a long distance trip, publishing venture or lawsuit. It looks like the tide is finally turning in your favour' Let's hope it's the publishing venture, at last!

How romantic!

What a lovely flowery, chocolatey day! I came home to find a lovely potted Spring flower arrangement sitting on the kitchen table surrounded by lots of chocolate ladybirds. So much more imaginative than a dozen red roses and a chocolate heart! How romantic!

Many happy returns

Happy birthday Dickens! I think my favourite Dickens novel is Great Expectations. What's yours?

Writing in Coney

Good to be back down at Coney Island yesterday with the wild, stormy sea crashing in the background, the smell and taste of salt in the gusty air. Good company, good food and good writing. Looking forward to seeing how stories from the writing exercises develop - Wiggy & Woolly and Pat's adoption. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in March.
