The rain taps on the windows. The wind swirls around the stone. But I am happy and I am cosy, in my beautiful little home.
My Diary
The Silver Monday
“Smile when your heart is aching, smile even though it’s breaking…” The song that has seen me through many Mondays and the song that inspired this post. We all have bad days from time to time and it is so easy to let the dark corners of our mind take over and distract us from…
Goodbye Proposals, Hello Handbags!
It has been a while since I published a post that was anything like a diary entry, despite having a section specifically called “Diary” on my blog, so, I thought tonight was the perfect time to change that! Tomorrow I begin a new journey within my writing career (I believe I can finally call it…
Let’s Start to Say “So What?”
So what if this is it? I am going to make IT good. If there is no point, great! That means we can do anything we want to and be anyone we want to be.

Classic car owners polish their retro rides and take a drive to the seaside to show…
A Bookish Day Off in Morecambe
