Writings :: Light and Shadows
Photo credit :: pixaby / pexels The dappled sunlight sent dancing shadows over her eyelids. She felt the movement of light and shadows, as each slid over her face. The scent of Spring blew in on a gentle breeze, carrying with it, the song of a blackbird. A contented sigh escaped her lips as she…

An Epic adventure part 3 …… The Absence
It’s taken me months to get around to writing about my time away in Australia… I’ve sat down with the intention to write of it many times, but I found it exceedingly difficult to put my experiences into words. I welcomed in 2018 with a shadow hanging over me. I dreaded the months disappearing as…

Don’t wait for the time to be right, to write.
I know I haven’t posted anything in months – sorry!! Life has been busy and noisy and whole lotta crazy! Right now I’m at the dining table with all three children at home. And by ‘home’, I’m talking about a two bedroom flat. My (nearly) four year old, is yelling at my five year old…

Sometimes Life Gets In The Way….
This is the perfect description of my life at the moment…… A whole bunch of life getting in the way of the things I want to, or need to be doing. (Like writing!) Whenever I contemplate our move to the UK (which is in two months time), I have this news feed of ‘To Do’…
