Monday 13th November – Day 114

Today I popped into my old workplace as they have a salon where the students learn how to cut/colour hair etc and it was nice to sit and chat to some of the nicer students I knew. Anyone who has read this blog for a while will know I didn’t leave this workplace on the best of terms but the less said about the better. There were a few reasons for leaving but one was that I’d had enough of the vast majority of the students as they were pretty vile to be quite honest and the worst I’ve ever worked with in the thirty years I’ve been working in education and I know I’m not the only one to feel like that. There was some good ones but they were in the minority. ((ok, I’ve crossed it out so you don’t have to read Peachy’s ranting!))

It was nice having my hair dyed and cut ((You looks hours, if not days younger!)) You are so rude! Then it was straight to the pub for a board meeting with a couple of the board members where we caught up on gossip but also plans for Newark Book festival for 2024, funding and sponsorship. If anyone wants to sponsor then festival then please do get in touch – it really is a fabulous festival but as with all non-profit events, we rely on funding and sponsors.

After this is back to my friend’s flat who has very kindly let me stay with her whilst I’m in Newark. As she’s still hard at work I crack on and get some writing done. When she gets home, we decide to start watching the series The Fall as I’ve read they are making a fourth season!

Until tomorrow… x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live on a Narrowboat cruising the canal network. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking). At the beginning of my writing journey, I started my blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing. ((I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!)) To the books… My fantasy series, Festival of Time was completed with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 and now joins, Book Two: Rescue, and Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates – I love chatting with readers and authors. In 2021 I joined Saga Fiction and now have three stories published on their app; A Christmas Wish, Decisions, Decisions, and A night lost to the past. Power of Nature a thriller/mystery novel is available on eBook. Finding Love, is my latest romance/rom-com novel and is available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon. I’m part of a wonderful writing group based in Newark; The Fosseway Writers and have stories in various anthologies including; The Brinwade Chronicles, which is a collection of 28 Gothic stories by 13 writers. Burning Old School Ties, Blood, Sweat and Typewriters and our latest book, Writings on the Walls, Available on Amazon. In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time exploring this wonderful part of the world I kept a journal and this became 187 Kilometres, turn left – which is a guide to our 43-day bucket list adventure. Available on Amazon. In December 2018; Game of Souls I published my first horror novella. Available on Amazon.
