Above
27 April 2009






















On top of the world Ma!























Not quite - there's higher ground ahead.






























This could have been here a while.























On the way back down to earth.
























What kind of blogger lives in a place like this?

























Who would have thought another magical world lies waiting to be discovered 300ft beneath the canopy of these trees?

For England & St. George!

We celebrated St George's Day at the weekend with a procession through the village followed by a fabulous performance of the Pace Egg Play by the outstanding M6 Theatre Company and a sing-a-long that would put to shame the Last Night of the Proms

The Easter Half Term School Break is now over, but not before there were plenty of trips down the dell:





















Our youngest daughter and the grandchildren returned to school on Monday and calm has now been restored to our household - for a short while anyway :)





















I managed to work my way through the edits for Refuge of Delayed Souls and they are off to the Editor tomorrow. It's been a difficult and yet rewarding experience. From now on, I think I will be much more aware of what I am writing or probably more to the point, what I am failing to write! I can now concentrate on writing some new chapters. I have considered removing all the chapters posted to date and starting again by posting the newly edited story from the beginning. I'm struggling to make a decision though - what do you think?

Sir H is all set for an operation on the 15 May to replace his knee joint. I'm sure he must be frustrated with the wait because even I feel like it's a long time coming. He's in quite a bit of pain and his mobility is decreasing daily but on the positive side it's great having him home and being able to see a bit more of each other.

Apologies for my lack of visits during the past few weeks, I've not had much time to dedicate to blogging, twittering or the Web Fiction Guide - I'm looking forward to making up for it now though :)

Happy St. George's Day Everyone!

It's been a lovely sunny long weekend here in Lancashire and we've enjoyed a fun family-filled Easter!

We went to watch the local folk dancers on Saturday and I've put together a short video for you. Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while will not be surprised by that news :D

If you enjoyed the video above you can see more of the traditional folk dances from previous years here and learn more about the Britannia Coco-nut Dancers here

I am looking forward to getting a bit of gardening done tomorrow and also finishing the edits for Refuge of Delayed Souls

Hope you are all well and have enjoyed a joyous and happy Easter!
