BCWC stands for British Christian Writers Conference - it took me ages to get those letters into my head and now they are not leaving.

A poem about current events that I can’t stay silent about!

Whose PJs are on my washing line? How did they end up there?

We had a day of reflection at church on Saturday, a time of mostly silent prayers for peace, with a particular focus on what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine.

“Come on Gretel do keep up – they say the witch’s house is made of chocolate!”

Last week I was on holiday and I had the chance to visit Lincoln Cathedral.

There was an expose over the weekend revealing that best-selling memoir The Salt Path by Raynor Winn, does not tell the whole truth.

Poetic thoughts on returning from my holiday to Malta…

I had 3 dates on Monday evening - all within the space of a couple of hours…

I’ve been thinking a lot about failure after I got my friends locked into a nightclub on Saturday evening.

I watched Ghost at the weekend, the film with Patrick Swayze, Whoopie Goldberg and Demi Moore.

I’ve never seen it before…
