Day to day musings

Tick Tock (where is time a-flying to)..?

Hey guys, How are you? It feels like it’s been an age in which a tonne has happened. How have you been? From moving house, to starting a new job, in addition to writing projects galore, it’s been a few crazy busy months. I find myself wondering where the hours disappear. Seriously, I feel like I don’t even get the…

Triple über quick update…

Hey guys, hope all swell! It’s been another manic few weeks, where the hell is time going? With September around the corner and the advent of a new season, there’s a tonne of stuff to add to my already burgeoning To Do List. Writing commitments and events galore ranging from foodie festivals to fashion shows, are keeping me out of…

Derby Reviews & Über Quick Hello!

Hey guys, How are you all doing? Hope all is well and that you’re enjoying the somewhat erratic weather. Don’t get me wrong, I adore summery days and balmy nights, but when you’re constantly thrown with what to wear (I squelched home in my sandals earlier today after an impromptu downpour), it can get a little taxing. Que sera sera.…

Duck In, Duck Out…

Hey guys, How are you? Really hope you’re all well and enjoying the weather (hurrah for the heatwave)! I’m heading out in like ten minutes, so this is me frantically typing away trying to get my thoughts into some semblance for my zippiest blog post yet. It’s shaping up to be a cracking week and it’s only Monday. I’m awaiting…

Coffee + Book + Cake Balls = Perfect Evening In…

Hey guys, How are you all? The weeks are melting away and we’re in the middle of summer (big whoop)! The sultry days are hot and sticky, the expectant evenings balmy – and I’m now swiftly changing track to avoid the risk of sounding like I’m writing a racy novel. OK, what have I been up to? In between writing…

What, Friday ALREADY..?

Hey guys, Hope you’re all well. I’m literally just ducking in for a quick “High Five” (the picture below now makes sense), before I get back to my writing. One of the joys of being a writer is that you have to be really disciplined. And I’m finding that I have to be really selfish with my time (advance grovelling…

Birthday cake, cocktails & general mayhem…

Hey guys, how’s it going? It’s a chilly Tuesday afternoon and I’m hunkering down to my first blog of the week with prerequisite cup of coffee to hand (thank you to Rockstar Rosi at Rhode Island). So, what have you been up to? It’s been a fun few days. Two birthday celebrations, discovery of two restaurants and fleshing out a…

48 Hours and counting for a Supernatural Weekend…

Hey guys, How are you? Hope you’re all well and that the inclement weather isn’t getting you down. It’s been another busy week (no change there then) and I couldn’t be happier. It snowed, hurrah! Or rather, at the point of writing, it is trying to snow. Granted it’s currently just the odd flake (come on Manchester, you can do…

COFFEE TASTING: MANCHESTER

COFFEE TASTING: MANCHESTER

Sonny and Cher. John and Yoko. Hot chocolate with marshmallows. Me and Sean Connery. I could go on about various perfect duos, but I’ll spare you and stop. (Sorry, couldn’t resist putting the last one in.) The ultimate pairing is in my opinion, coffee and writing. I’ve been writing now for a few years and as my output has increased,…
