It's a pleasure to have writer Janet Morley on my blog as she shares her faith and writing journey, plus her recently published poetry anthology 'Love Set You Going' is definitely worth adding to the Christmas list... Tell us a bit about you and how you became a Christian. I grew up in a very… Continue reading An interview with Janet Morley

Autumn is here. The chill in the air, the darker evenings and, in my case, the desire to do some baking that includes a touch of cinnamon, has got me all cosy.

Well, I suppose I should get more acquainted with this 'blog' so here goes my second attempt at a 'post'. I'd like to start writing something worth writing about, but at the moment I really haven't got a direction... I have finished my first assignment for a creative writing course that I enrolled on. It… Continue reading Aroma
Hi! I finally got this thing up and running after talking abuse ever so politely at the screen for several minutes! The purpose of this blog is to document my thoughts, views and other such nonsense as well as the odd bit about my life.
