I'm not really made from pink wool, and I don't live in outer space, but I DO like knitting! I'm a Bible-reading, maths-teaching, theology-studying, resource-writing, terribly untidy mum-of-three currently located in the middle of England. Occasionally, God gives me a thwack round the head with a rolled-up newspaper, and I try to listen. Sometimes.
Playing catch-up again, cos I’ve done two more re-wites since this picture but, yes, book 1 of Margie Magellan is complete! In this story we meet Margie, kid brother Fred and their Nan, and we have an adventure with the mysterious Kinetempix! Currently called Margie Magellan’s Volcano Adventure, it’s out to gamma readers (one after … More Margie Magellan’s Volcano Adventure – Blurb
I know, I know. It’s been ages. Will you forgive me if I put a load of photos in? Aw thanks. You’re a peach. Truth is, I usually write these posts on my laptop, but I take photos on my phone and it’s a bit of a pain in the nethers getting photos across … … More Naughty Me!
I know, I know. It’s not cool. I’m sure Richard Osman doesn’t squeal and do a little happy dance every time he walks int Waterstones or Blackwells, but I’m not cool, OK?

If you are given to motorway driving, … More Having a high old time in Cumbernauld

Yesterday was a whirl of last-minute laminating (don’t you just hate that?), cramming an entire bookstall into the boot of a borrowed car, and (Oxford comma) navigating the VERY narrow roads on the way to Launde Abbey. You get there over a cattle grid through sheep pastures and, yes, the sheep have right-of-way. Photo from … More Back at Launde, and lovin’ it
