London



I had a wonderful time in London. Now I need to save up and go again so much too do and see so little time. I suggest you not waste your money on Madame Tussauds it has sadly turned in to a tourist trap. I remember going as child it was so full of wax figures. Not as many now and the place was pack.

Now something new was the London Eye a bit pricey I felt until I did a flight. It was wonderful even on a slightly cloudy you can see so much.

I spent a day at Hampton Court Palace. This palace belonged to Henry the VIII. The gardens were just beautiful. If you can ever visit do. I ate lunch there it was well worth it and not really expensive. The stew was so good it had been a chilly day and the fresh baked bread was great.

London Calling

Well I leave for London soon. I hope to take many great pictures and do some research. I haven't been years and miss it very much. The London Walk tours sound so fun and am going to try a few. I am looking forward to going in Buckingham Palace it is one place I have dreamed someday of go in. Now its open to the public growing up it wasn't, that was a pipe dream now a dream come true. It is a new home for the Royal family the first Royal to live in it was Queen Victoria. Most homes for them have been around since Henry the VIII. I have spent to much time in the history books, but it is such good fun. I will be back in a few weeks with pictures.

Long trip ahead

Well I am getting excited 15 days until I am in London. Can't wait so much to see so many people to visit with. I will post many pictures when I get back, hopefully you will enjoy them.
Today, no writing done, I feel it was an unproductive day and tomorrow is busy as well. When traveling you have so much to get together the climate is different its cold and here I sit in 82F at 10.30pm. Winter weather for me. Fall in London is wonderful. I will have time to do some writing and check out locations I may use in the book I am working on now. Walking through London is like walking around history its a very exciting city.
So read my short stories let me know what you think. Make it a great week.

Planning a new Trip

I am currently planning a trip to London, Great Britain. I want my son to see where part of his family is from. He also doesn't remember being in London last he was 8 years old. Now it will be fun he is an adult and we can go out in the evenings. Soho look out!
It will be cold to me after being here in the desert the last 16 years. I will write some too I am always inspired by travel. I currently working on my second book. I may publish my first as a kindle type. I need to find out more about the process.
Found a new singer who is wonderful to me Raven Quinn I got her CD from Amazon. I have another group I just love 'Starlight Mints' such good fun.
Back to writing now.

Tombstone, Arizona USA trip





I took a day trip to Tombstone this passed weekend. It was my second trip down there. The book I wrote is about The Birdcage Theater. I wanted to be sure I got my facts right and see about selling my book down there. Well if your in Arizona go visit Tombstone its not expensive but ever so much fun. Many free museums and shot outs on Allen Street. The people dress up as well in 1880's clothes so cool. Cochise County is so beautiful and green now due to the monsoon rains. Dragoon Mountain range is just breath taking. Mini trips give my brain time to think and imagine. I hope you like the pictures.

Writing trip to New Mexico


I have been a busy person. Taking a great trip to New Mexico help clear the cob webs and think. It helps when the day to day things are gone you can really concentrate on what you want to write. The wide open spaces and beautiful monsoon clouds give you time to imagine. In the book I have written a small bit of New Mexico is in it and I was spot on.
This weekend I will take time to do some writing after a portrait will be taken. I am sad my beautiful dog won't be in the picture. She is after all the only baby girl I will ever have.
So I have some wonderful pictures of my trip to look at and just dream which really help me write. I hope you will stay with me I do try to keep my blog posted. I forget because I am writing and think oh I am tired tomorrow, then a thought pops in my head and I am writing away. When you have time read my two short stories on here and let me know what you think. See you here or on twitter.

Long time

Well I have been so busy. I miss my quiet time to write now that my son moved home. I have told him Mum needs to write. He needs a job. I have two stories in the works I just need time to develop them. Being summer I should have more time after all I have finished doing work on my garden. I also for some crazy reason am doing an article for www.AnipalTimes.com for my beautiful little girl puppy PrincessGwenie. She even has a twitter account. Maybe I need my head examined! I feel its writing & that's a good thing. So any comments or suggestions are so welcome. Thanks for reading my blog.
