Christmas day might be over for the year but there’s a few days left before the New Year bank holiday, so if you still want a recommendation for a festive film or two to watch over the next few days, I’ve put together a list of films…
I wrote some of this last year, it was really supposed to stay at around 1,000 words but this evening I got writing and now it’s ended up much longer. If you didn’t already know, I’ve been writing a series of books set on/around a fictional island called Cedarbee Island, the first book is called Marissa Moves to an Island (that title may change) and the second is called The Vanishing Island, both of which are still being edited.
Characters from both stories are in this since many characters from the first book appear in the second, I thought this might be a nice way to introduce people to some of the characters in them – this story is set after the first two books. I hope you enjoy!
It’s that time of year when you can get creative with Christmas themed baking, today’s recipe I’m going to share with you is for festive fresh orange cakes that I baked a few days ago.
Last week I shared a poll on Twitter asking people which post they wanted to see from me next, this or a top 10 style post of books (that I’ve read this year) and people picked this one so here goes… these are the books I’ve bought over the past few months.
I know, I know… I don’t post on here for four months and then I post twice in one week! I wanted to write this partly just so I could reuse a line from an old story I deleted but also for a challenge on a Discord server I’m part of (hi guys if you’re reading this!) So, get a cuppa and settle in for a Halloween short story set (mostly) in a basement…
I completely skipped posting a summer in the garden blog post (or any blog posts for that matter) during the summer so I thought I’d have a bit of a catch up and share photos from around the garden from over the summer along with some recent autumn photos as well.
It’s felt like it’s taken ages for spring to actually arrive this year weather-wise and now it’s nearly summer, but here are some photos I’ve taken in the garden over the past few months.
I’ve been writing fiction on and off since I was a teenager (back in the day I used to write fanfic) but I never took it seriously until a couple of years ago. Me? A writer? Nah. Wait, actually… I’ve still got a lot to learn but here are 5 annoying habits to avoid when writing fiction – mistakes I’ve found I’ve been making when looking back over chapters I’ve written from the past couple of years.
Hello everyone, I haven’t posted on my blog for a while but I’ve got another recipe to share with you all, a baking recipe to be exact, for a mandarin loaf cake which I baked earlier today.
I’ve changed things up a bit on here this evening and removed the poetry page that was on here before, I figured it would be better putting my poems into a writing category instead so I’m going to share the poetry that was on that page, in this post.
I haven’t posted anything garden related on here since spring so I thought it was about time I did a garden post for autumn. The leaves are changing colour but there are still plenty of flowers around in the garden.
I’m back with another recipe today, this time some plum cakes topped with pink icing, marshmallows, chocolate curls and icing sugar.
