Hello there. It is fabulous to see that you have chosen to join me here for this next instalment of my blog. If you are new here, I would like to extend a very warm welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here with me. And if this is a return visit for you, I […]
Hello again fellow journeyer. As I start my writing today, I find myself wondering how you are, as you meet me on this page and how my words may land with you today. I am currently sat in my back garden, having constructed a cobbled together laptop shade from my laundry basket, so I can […]
So, last month it felt like I left you very abruptly. I want to apologise if this caused you any discomfort or frustration. It was not my intention to end in what felt like the middle of my story, and neither was it my design to leave you on a cliff hanger. What I realised […]

It’s time to greet the darkness again. The wheel of the year is turning. A chill has sneaked into our morning air and August sunshine and carefree summer days will soon be a distant memory. We are officially heading into the dark half of the year. This time of year is odd, if you think […]
