I Am (Not) Sailing…as the song doesn’t go.
There is one thing I am the most scared of doing. Something that does terrify me at a really deep level. That thing is sailing. I love watching the water, I could stare at the sea or at rivers for hours and hours on end. It’s so powerful, it can…

What I Would Do With A Lottery Win
Who hasn’t ever thought what you would do if you won the lottery? I know I have, and if I’ve been bored I’ve even looked at multi-million pound homes and dreamed of buying one in the event of a lottery win. But beyond that…I don’t know what I would do…

My Favourite Place
I’ve been fortunate enough to go to many places that I have loved. I adore the Greek islands and distinctly remember going to the River Styx where Achilles was dipped into the water by his mother to give him his superhuman strength. I have honestly never seen water so clear…

The Magic of Synchronicities
I’ve been feeling a bit rubbish this morning. A bit blue, finding it difficult to lift my spirits even with writing, that sort of thing. The muse for writing has left the building today which I always struggle with, but with a Retrograde Mercury I guess I was feeling the…
