I don’t believe it!!!
Originally posted on linda huber: It was a real Victor Meldrew moment. The first of two, actually. There I was in Switzerland a couple of months ago, rooted to the spot in our nearest big-town washing machine retailer, eyes popping and mouth hanging open… But let’s start at the beginning. Washing machines, as we all…

Not such a happy coincidence…
As coincidences go, it was a big one, and it nearly meant that one of my books wasn’t finished, never mind published. Going back a couple of years, I was watching a TV programme called The Heir Hunters, which was about a team of people who searched for relatives of those who died inestate. The…

Classic Comfort Reads… with Helen Pryke
The idea behind the Classic Comfort posts is that each featured writer chooses a favourite title from the classics – we’ll define ‘classic’ as pre-1940 – and a favourite comfort read, a book they always return to, for whatever reasons.

Beavers! #nature, almost #SilentSunday
Our beavers have been busy again. The little stream that flows past the woods by my flat has two dams, an old one and a newer one. The new one was built mainly last year, I think, after the old one had to have pipes laid through it to stop the pooling water endangering the…

The year that was… 2021
Well. We started the year with high hopes, but as far as the pandemic was concerned, 2021 was just another day at the office. So today, there are more empty places at the table, more friends marked by the disease, more discord in daily life than I ever remember. And that’s before you even start…
