Five for Friday – Things I’ve learned so far!

Nope I haven’t left the country, fell down a well or been eaten by cats. I’m doing NaNoWriMo and am sooo behind I’ve taken to drinking more wine and walking round graveyards to prove to myself that things could be worse. The first week was fantastic, I was full of energy and enthusiasm and flewContinue reading “Five for Friday – Things I’ve learned so far!”

Place them on yourContinue reading “Why perspectives are like shoes.”

I don’t like Coffee!!!

Well, actually I don’t mind it every now and then. But a good cup of tea is the way to go, for me. You have to make it right though, ‘as it comes’ is definitely not an option! I like mine milky, but not anaemic, dark enough to tell its tea but if you’ve hitContinue reading “I don’t like Coffee!!!”

Buried Treasure
