Finally.....

 ....some better news! I am now a published author!!!! My wise words are now being spread far and wide courtesy of The Guardian online. Admittedly it is barely a paragraph and just about a sentence - but it has cheered me up.

 

The article in all its twinkly glory can be found here:- The Guardian.
Now that I am proper famous I am available for further paragraphs and sentences in other publications. Thank you.
Oh, and yes, it is true - my home is strewn with fairy lights from November until the end of March - they are really useful during power cuts caused by relentless storms. I truly am the wise woman of Devon.

Bad News

 Ack, my doggy, Sid, is dying - days rather than weeks. Bit of a shock. I will find a nice picture to slap up here at some point, but I can't do it now. Please excuse me whilst I step outside for a while.

From September....

.....I move to Blogger as I can no longer pay the rent at WordPress - cost of living blah, blah, blah and I would rather buy shoes. Or crisps. For now I bring you a fragment of something I'm working on. I will be back when I have finished it. And when I have recovered from my tremendous sulk.
