Breaks from Routine

It was good to meet up with fellow writers yesterday and exercise my writing muscles again after a short break. Fuelled by coffee and apple and cinnamon muffins, we caught up on news and did some spring themed writing. It was amazing what we all developed from the same prompt.

After a few lovely days away in Scotland it was good to get back into a routine again. While there was little opportunity to write while I was away, I did manage a few museum visits - including seeing the last letter Mary Queen of Scots wrote (currently on display in Perth museum) as well as making time for a return visit to one of the palaces she lived in at Falkland. 

It was also great to have time for some reading - I enjoyed Tracy Chevalier's 'The Glass Maker' over the Easter break and I got the chance to dip into a lovely anthology which includes a short story I wrote. 'Spring at Bluebell Wood' is in 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips with Me'.

Now to get back to writing - with some new projects on the horizon, it's going to be an exciting few months ahead.
