For many years I've had foxes visit me in my back garden. The first one was Cheeky, so named because he felt at home wandering into the conservatory, and making himself comfortable on the chairs. They've still got the marks to prove it! I'm not sure if he's admiring my books, or thinking the curtain …

Dinner Time and Curled up with a good book
This week seems to be all about the foxes. They got in on the act when they sneaked into my guest spot with Michelle's book blog 'Curled up with a good book.' You can read about it here: Meet the author guest post Although Rosie turns up regularly, I haven't seen Chico for a few …

Although I live in London, Foxes are a regular visitor to my garden, and it's fascinating to watch them and identify their different characters. Recently it looked as if one couple had had an argument, so perhaps this is a true story. 😀 Typical male, finds a good thing and wants to keep it to …

At first when Mark jilted me on our wedding day my friends rallied round. ‘He was never good enough for you, anyway.’ ‘Plenty more fish …

Normally we slept during the day but at night we would go out foraging; sometimes all the family together, sometimes independently. Like all siblings we fought over the best …
A Dragon is for Life
It’s that time of year when everyone has written their Christmas list and is waiting hopefully for Father Christmas to drop down their chimney. (Don’t worry if you have central heating, Santa is an old hand at this and always finds a way to get to the mince pies.) Drago wasn’t sure if he …
Beyond the Glass Part 1
