Christmas lights zigzagged across the road and shoppers hurried for the warmth of department stores. An icy wind brought a chill to the falling snow.

You Can Time Travel
As today is Time Traveller Day, I wanted to tell you that everyone can travel back in time. I’ve done it on many occasions and it is a great source of pleasure. Would you like to take part and celebrate this day by going back in time too? Instructions on How to Travel Back in…
National Day of the Horse
When I was eight years old, my mother let two sisters, a sixteen and eighteen year old take me to the other side of the city to a riding school. In 1966, the world was a different place. Each week I went with them to spend the day at the stables. I’d muck out horses,…
Halloween Ghost Story Free to Download
I’ve never believed in ghost or of psychic ability but as I’ve got older I’ve opened my mind a little. I now believe that for other people, it’s different. I believe, they believe, and perhaps something has happened to them to make it that way. As a writer, it’s a pot of gold. I love…
Mistakes
I’ve been writing all my life and it was my second hobby. The first was and is reading. My brother was an excellent artist so I wanted to draw but had no talent for it whatsoever. So I looked for something else to make ‘pretty pictures’. I found cross stitching and it has been one…

Are you Scared of Friday 13th?
I am not a superstitious and if something happens to me on Friday 13th then it’s just a coincidence. Recently I was looking through an old box I found in the loft and in it was a story I had typed called Terror in the Office and how the date had terrible consequences for all…
King Tut Day
Tutankhamun took the throne aged just eight or nine under the unprecedented viziership of his eventual successor, Ay, to whom he may have been related. The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun’s nearly intact tomb, in excavations funded by Lord Carnarvon, received worldwide press coverage. With over 5,000 artefacts, it sparked a renewed public interest in ancient…
World Kindness Day
We should be kind all the time rather than have a week for being so. But it isn’t about that as much. It’s more going that extra mile and doing something that you haven’t done before. A couple of years ago my WI, (Women’s Institute) decided to put together bouquets of flowers and leave them…
