About me
I'm a freelance writer - fiction, nonfiction and anything else that happens to tango its way through my mind. That's for me, and I've won a competition or two, and been published in a range of media. To keep the wolf from the door, I also edit, proofread and write for other people. Love it all. Aren't I lucky?

I hate winter. The rot set in at boarding school. After a childhood of open fires and a kitchen range, the gothic austerity of mens sana in corpore sano at temperatures hovering either side of 0o Celsius was a shock … Continue reading
Daily post: Practice makes perfect…
What a good thing I don’t want to be perfect at anything! Even the thought of all the practice required has me longing for a nap. I don’t want to be a dancer, a singer, an artist, a doctor, a … Continue reading
Daily post: Education
The ultimate purpose of education is to inspire its recipients to want to know, and to teach them to think – logically, constructively, laterally or creatively as the need arises. The basic necessity is to teach them the three Rs, … Continue reading
Daily post: Fair? Yep
‘Is it fair that I get the Daily Prompt after 10 at night, so by the time I post the next morning, most bloggers are asleep and it goes unnoticed – proved by the fact that on the rare occasions … Continue reading
Daily post: Fair? I don’t think so…
DAILY PROMPT: NO FAIR Tell us about something you think is terribly unfair — and explain how you would rectify it. Photographers, artists, poets: show us FAIR. She sits among her dimples drinking tea and eating cake and drawing up … Continue reading
