Small world between authors
I love the way the universe sends gifts when you least expect them and perhaps most need them. Today’s guest, all the way from Colorado, sent me a lovely email on a day when I needed some sunshine.

When old is new again
We’re doing a bit of a clean out today and hiding in the bottom of one of our sailing bins I uncovered GW’s wetsuit. It’s a tatty old thing that 37 years ago was state of the art neoprene – a newfangle fabric regarded with a high degree of suspicion. At the time GW was Continue reading
