I’m instituting quarterly updates for both my writing and my crochet (the first wrangling the yarn post will appear next month) mostly for my own benefit; having things to talk about depends on me actually doing things and thus gently encourages steady productivity. That said I do hope a few of you are also interested … More Herding the Words: Q1 2023
Originally written at the start of December from the prompts sent daily by Writer’s HQ for their 12 Days of Flashmas challenge, I decided I wanted share these on my blog over the actual twelve days of Christmas (so from Boxing Day to Epiphany) pretty much as they left my keyboard at the end of … More Twelve Tales from the Wildwood
For me June ended in a week of quiet contemplation. That small retreat from the world brought a lot of different things into sharp focus and resulted in a significant reset of both my priorities and how I spend my time.

Spring has properly sprung, as evidenced in my A Year in the Woods post, and I feel far more like myself than I have for a long … More That was the month that was: March 2021
I am aware that it is now 9th January and thus the year isn’t exactly new any more. In fact given everything that’s happening at the moment it feels more like we’ve just experienced six months in nine days. Which is … fun. Not. However I am trying not to let myself retreat from the … More The obligatory “it’s the new year” post
Right, I’m planning my blog posts for 2021 and I want to revive “Monthly Musings” but not in the format I used before. Instead of me waffling on about what I’ve been up to, I’d like to write about the things that you want to hear about. And so I need you all to help … More Reader, I have a request
