I first met Tracey Gerrard on social media, and when we discovered we liked the same kind of books, we soon became friends. As well as writing books, Tracey works full time, so she is a busy lady, and I’m delighted she found the time for a chat with me. Without...
Hello and welcome to my September Newsletter It's hard to believe that we are into September already, and no doubt people will soon be talking about Christmas! Now there's a scary thought! We've had a fantastic summer though, and I for one have...
Hello and welcome to my August Newsletter. Well, what a hot and dry month July turned out to be! The soil in my back garden is quite shallow, so I've had to do a lot of watering to keep my plants alive. Goodness knows what our water bill will be,...
Hello and welcome to my July Newsletter Those of you who know me best will know how fond I am of my garden and I couldn't resist adding a photo of this flower bed. It's looked lovely for weeks with self-seeded foxgloves and Welsh...
Hello and welcome to my June Newsletter. Like many people, after over two years of barely going anywhere, we have recently had a couple of short breaks. In April we spent a couple of days in Great Malvern, a place we had never been before...

Hello and welcome to my February Newsletter. It's hard to believe we are into February already when Christmas doesn't seem that long ago. Mind you, we only got around to having a Christmas meal with all the family recently as several had covid during...
Hello and a Happy New Year! I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year? My Christmas was a little mixed - some parts good and some not so much. We were going to swap presents with Stuart, my eldest son, and his wife, Laura, on Christmas Eve, but they had become...
Hello and welcome to my December newsletter. Well, it won't be long now until Christmas! Fingers crossed the new covid variant doesn't upset everyone's plans. I'm feeling pretty organised at the moment. It was a relief to get my third book published and be able to...
Hello and welcome to my November Newsletter. I was looking back over my newsletters earlier and realised that I sent my first one out in November 2020. Where has the time gone? Last year I wrote that a vaccine for Covid was in sight and that, hopefully, there might be...
