What a week!

Since my last post, Gary and I have celebrated twenty-five years together (although we've only been married about half of that) and our thousandth night in the mobile writing retreat (campervan). Photos are a random selection of those taken in that time.

We marked these occasions with nice dinners, coastal walks, castle visits, lots of tea, plenty of cake... OK, I know that sounds like we just carried on as usual, but we did make it different - honest.

Free entry competition news


The Wergle Flomp 'humor' poetry competition offers a $2,000 first prize, with quite a few cash prizes for runners up and honourable mentions.


For The Scottish Book Trust's 50 word competition this month, your story should include a bat. The image is of the flying kind, so I'm not sure if cricket stories would be OK.


The Commonwealth short story prize offers a £5,000 main prize, plus regional prizes. To enter you must be a commonwealth citizen aged over eighteen, and your story must be unpublished.

Congratulations on the anniversaries, Patsy. It sounds as if you are enjoying your trip. Still eating tomatoes and apples here. Made an apple cake this morning.
