Bletchley Park – Treat – September 1, 2019
Mooching around the Bletchley Park gift shop for notebooks to satisfy my addiction, I came across two bookends. I have been looking for small, reasonably priced, bookends for some months now. The bookends I fell in love with are not small, nor were they reasonably priced, but I had to have them.

A new haircut and a book sale.
I have my hair cut every time I publish a book. Joking apart, Philip has bought all the books in The Dudley Sisters Saga for his mum and sister. He’s a great hairstylist too. xx I look like a thief making a quick get-away. Truth is, I did pose for a photograph to show off…

Book 8 – Relegated to the Cuts File.
I woke this morning with the voices of the four Dudley sisters in my head. I have already written 6,000 words of my next novel, number 8 in The Dudley Sisters Saga. However, in ten minutes the work I have done so far will be chopped and pasted to the Dudley Sisters’ Cuts File.…

What a lovely Easter Day this is turning in to.
The news about the killings of Christians in hotels and churches in Sri Lanka was devasting and upset me as it did millions of people. However, as I had planned, I went to the Easter Day service at St. Mary’s Church in Lutterworth. I felt sad before I went, but the service was absolutely wonderful.…

Salford-born playwright and writer Shelagh Delaney is regarded as one of the pioneers of the ‘kitchen sink’ realism of the late 1950s-60s.
Asked which plays I liked and which playwrights had influenced me after I had auditioned for a place at E15 Drama College I said, without a second thought, Shelagh Delaney. I was lucky that, without realising it, Shelagh Delaney had connections with E15 through E15 director Maggie Bury who had worked for many years with…

Thinking of our mum’s who we can’t visit on Mother’s Day, but are in our hearts.
It is a sad time. It has been for four months. Some wonderful people had died this year. And, with other loved ones ill, it’s hard to keep smiling. Today I have been thinking of my lovely mum. What a wonderful, down to earth, genuine, generous woman she was.

Couldn’t (not) do anything, so designed a mock-book cover for No Going Home.
This isn’t it, but it’s a start. The church is my church: St. Mary’s at Lutterworth, the tree is one that was blown down last year in the gales, and the woman in the photograph is my lovely mum.
