Are You Afraid?
I’m sorry, I appear to have gone all political. Things have been too crazy to keep it cooped up. Continue reading Are You Afraid?

2016 – get in the bin
I’ve been trying to decide whether to do a review of 2016. On the one hand, just a horrible, ghastly year with some icons passing away and hideous events occurring (Brexit, Trump, Syria, etc. etc.). But on the other hand, I joined a writers group, became more active on my blog (gaining more followers and a heap of views – up seven-fold on 2014 & … Continue reading 2016 – get in the bin
Spreading the love: Safari Camp Life
The wonderful (and anonymous) writer of Safari Camp Life somehow stumbled across my blog and followed me, which was nice.

The Con Artist
This could be a piece of fiction. But it isn’t. This really happened to me and I was reminded of it due to my recent post about hoaxes. And I promised the wonderful Diana Wallace Peach that I’d re-post it in full (rather than as a link). In early 2014 I took my eldest daughter down to London for an audition to a drama school … Continue reading The Con Artist
I Don’t Believe It! (and you probably shouldn’t, either…)
I wrote this for our local village newsletter after a hoax warning story on hotel key cards holding personal credit card data on their magnetic strip found its way into the last issue. You may have heard that Bob Holness played saxophone on Baker Street. Or that that you eat eight spiders during your lifetime. These are, of course, absolute nonsense; both were ‘made up … Continue reading I Don’t Believe It! (and you probably shouldn’t, either…)
