Rosie has amassed quite an array of unpleasant habits. However she has plunged new depths with her current unpleasentness – slug slurping. When she is out walking she hoovers up slugs as she walks. She doesn’t miss a step, simply…

Well, since the start of March the weather has turned miserable. Shame as this has curtailed our asparagus picking. I realise we are fair weather asparagus pickers. Last week was Carnival, and there was a super-fiesta on Sunday where Carnival…

I’ve just finished a ghost writing assignment for Quatro Press. I had to write short introductions to four chapters of a new ‘Bead Jewelry Designer’s Encyclopedia’. I quite enjoyed it! I had to write in the original author’s style, and…
