moving on #diary

I’ve had a magical week. It’s time to hook up with my friends for a while – with some very adventurous stories to come! I shall be back in the middle of March. I really do hope everything is going well for you. Let’s catch up soon. Meanwhile, here’s some pictures of a charming rural village in England.

my fire #diary

Drove up a lovely mountain. A break from writing. Dog bonding – Lit a fire. Stack of old Movies. Having a Meryl Streep/Steve Martin day. Doing some romantic comedy. That’s my bag. Nothing intense. Keeping it simple. I’m done with baggage. The only thing missing right now is a joint. (Been ages … little bit of what you fancy now and again. I answer to no-one.)  Just laughing, thinking of the past (book ideas) you know when you go on a first date with a nerd and they ask you to list your fave movies and songs. I don’t do that shit. Would rather not say anything and stare at the stars. Words are cheap. My own company is hard to beat right now.

This town is so gorgeous. I’ve gone into another zone. I cannot wait to get out there and take some photographs. I’m on the top of the Peak District for a week. I need to work out where to buy more logs from? It’s chilly. Oh god, this film is sad. I love Steve Martin. Amen. TBH©

 

Goodbye Matlock and my new book!

It’s been such a  joy to spend time in this ever so ‘quirky – chintz’ barn, doing nothing else but write – discover the area and local community. If you ever want to find a wonderful part of the UK to explore that has such friendly, down to earth locals with lots of things to do and see – try to visit Matlock in Derbyshire. You won’t be disappointed! And Matlock Bath is beautiful. All of this within the Peak District – Wow! There’s lots more about my adventures in my new book!

I have set up a platform specifically to talk about my very exciting writing project. If you’d like to drop by please use this contact link  and I’ll add you to my mailing list. Thank You – I really would love to hear from you. Be the first to know all about my new book ! TBH©

 

talking to myself #diary

Can’t sleep. Think it’s because I’m on the move again soon – so I know not to get too comfy. Been roaming now since the beginning of January. It’s funny –  but you know – it’s addictive, living from a suitcase (well car boot – I’ve got quite a lot of stuff I take on my adventures.) I also need to make my way to Wales to see Annona at some point. Plus, I’m missing my sons. It’s good though, I’ve got a lot of my writing done and I cannot thank Lucy Brazier enough for her support. She’s checked over each chapter for me. I am rubbish at spelling. I’ve no A Level in English. It’s not something I’ve ever missed, although it would be helpful.

For those who haven’t seen Annona, this is her. She’s a static home. An old girl. But she’s had a make over – so sweet. There’s a lot about her in my book. I know it may seem a bit crazy sharing pictures of spaces on my blog but that’s what I do. I make something out of nothing and I love to share, as it really does inspire others. I know how it feels to  lose everything. I lost my home, my business and I’ve tried hard to rebuild my life. It’s not been easy. So I appreciate everything I have. I love to share. I value everyone from the destitute to the rich. It’s about the individual. Yes I get disappointed. But we have to try. It’s better than hiding away from life’s challenges. We grow through our adventures. By the way, if you want a space for your garden, I can furnish it to suit your character and fill it with magic for you so that all your dreams manifest in that space. It’s true – I do this for people! Sheds – Tents – Static Homes etc.

Not felt myself these past couple of days. Some weird energies around. When I go online I feel as though I become ‘off centre.’ But then I am alone in the middle of nowhere, so it’s also a bit of a life line. It’s getting a balance to write and also relax. I find my best inspiration is to be with nature. I don’t know how any person can write without lots of variety in the real world, because if I become stagnant I get moody. I need to be with nature. It’s a cold February here in the UK. I hope Spring isn’t too late coming. I do have another nest project in the pipeline. Hopefully my best yet, but it’s a big ‘if’ at this stage as there’s a fair bit of research ahead. I believe we need to invest in parts of our country that need a bit of help. Let’s put it that way for now.

Anyway, am going to try and sleep now. Tiff. X
