I’ve begun to
realise why I’m not as regular as I should be – blogging wise, that is. Take
the last few days, for example. As well as working on next week’s Bucks Herald
columns and magazine Christmas features, I’ve attended panto launches, interviewed
an artist for a January feature, pitched ideas for next March and am busy brainstorming
articles for summer 2016. No wonder I hardly know what date it is.
My explanation
aired, here’s a rundown of my recent work. For The Lady I reviewed the
Ashmolean’s An Elegant Society exhibition and my artist profiles in Hampshire
Life featured Toby Saville and Richard Adams. Hertfordshire Life carried my
interview with Netmums’ Cathy Court and features about the Ashwell Show and Hemel
Hempstead’s villages. After attending Julie Mayhew’s fabulous book launch I
interviewed author Bruce Nixon and this appeared in the October edition of
Hertfordshire Life.
Meanwhile,
Buckinghamshire Life carried 10 Reasons to Love Winslow and Merry Pig Farm in
September while this month’s edition includes 10 Walks of Wonder, the WI Centenary
and Hale Valley Vineyard.
A few months
back I interviewed the ultra talented Vicki Brand who upcycles wood into
fabulously rustic furniture and this feature is in the latest edition of
Landscape. And I’ve also just begun a new column – Our Creative Vale – for Vale Life
magazine.
I’ve been out
and about too, mind, going to another WI Centenary event and Chiltern Writers
meetings as well as working on my Lady Margaret Gosworthy-Pringle greetings
card range, more of which next time.
