Let me make
it quite clear from the outset, there’s nothing that enthuses me more than
seasonal weather. Snow, frost, blizzards: the harsher the better as far as I’m
concerned. Yet although the wintry scene I currently view from my study window
ticks all the right boxes, there’s also a drawback. You see, said climatic
conditions have precluded my family from travelling to work / school. And the
result? A plethora of interruptions: what am I writing, how long will it take, where
are the homemade scones and did I realise that our missing Feline has been hiding
in the loft?
So, quickly,
before I’m disturbed yet again, here’s my latest news.
No matter
your faith or gender, please rush out (taking care on those icy roads, mind)
and get hold of a copy of Sorted. It’s a men’s Christian magazine that’s packed
with gutsy features and articles and I’m delighted the current issue includes
my lengthy interview with Duncan Dyason who is devoting his life to helping the street children of Guatemala and Honduras.
Closer to
home, next week’s Inspiration to Write workshop (Wednesday, 30 January,
10.30am) which takes place at St Francis Hospice, Berkhamsted, still has a few
places so do get in touch if you are interested in creative writing. It could
be just the motivation you need.
Also, Rebeccah Giltrow recently interviewed yours truly. If you
care to click the link on my website, you can read browse my responses.
Finally, I’ve
submitted two commissioned articles to Buckinghamshire Life. And if you fancy a moment of amusement please check out my A Write Life! blog on Hertfordshire Life's website and my alter ego, Lady Margaret Gosworthy-Pringle who blogs for Hampshire Life.
Now, before either my husband,
daughter or pets interrupt me, I’ll just crack on with some writing . . .
