Mum and charity worker by day. Blogger, trainee copywriter and aspiring author by night. Probably a bit sleep deprived. Theatre and museum geek, expat Scouser in Yorkshire, woolly liberal feminist leftie.
This WordPress site is, if you like, my online writer’s office. The place where I come to just sit down and write, ignoring the unfinished housework and the squabbling children. Here is where I sit down with a steaming mug of tea, spread out my notebooks and bash out my ideas on an old typewriter with the rain streaming down the windows outside, while the cat snoozes on an old rocking chair (actually it’s a Mac and a cheap Ikea chair, both of which have seen better days, but you get the picture).
There’s a lot of different writing projects on the go in here. I make no apologies for the many disconnected subjects. I’m a parent, a traveller, a reader, a writer and a politics junkie – and I spout opinions on all these things when the mood takes me. So take a seat on the rocking chair (you may need to move a pile of notebooks, or the cat, first), pick a category and have a read of whatever takes your fancy. I’m always glad to hear other people’s opinions too, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments box.
Thank you for following my blog. I read your piece on Remembrance Sunday, and found it very moving; I agree with every word.

Thanks likewise! I’ve enjoyed a lot of your posts and just wish I was half as well read as you seem to be, 2015 might be the year I start to catch up on a bit of reading (having lost interest during an English Lit degree in the early 90’s!

Ooh, a letter to my future self? That’s an interesting idea – I’ve seen ‘letter to my 12 year old self’ things before but not the future… hmm. Let me have a think about that one! Thanks for the idea!

Yes, I thought it was a fun exercise and people can play if they feel like it…
Wish my future self would write a letter to me instead. They could tell me stuff I don’t know, like winning lottery numbers and “don’t eat the shrimp salad at the restaurant that opens in a couple months”

Yes, that would be very useful!

A woman after my own heart! How I wish my laptop was a typewriter. It just doesn’t have the same romance about it, does it?

Definitely something proper writerish about an old fashioned typewriter… And if I had one I wouldn’t waste so much time on Facebook, that’s for sure!

I like that you make no apologies for the many disconnected subjects,since I too write about a variety of subjects. Variety is the spice of life!

I agree. Besides, being an ‘all over the place’ blogger means you have to figure out how to use wordpress categories and menus, which I have to say was a challenge! Thanks for following!

Gooooooood Morning! I’ve nominated you for The Blogger Recognition award. https://magnoliajem.com/2018/07/23/the-blogger-recognition-award/

Thank you so much! I’d been wondering if I should say I’m award free, because I’ve found it tricky in the past nominating people – maybe I’ve just picked bloggers who don’t want to be nominated themselves for whatever reason. So is it ok if I answer your questions and share some of my favourite bloggers but don’t pass on the nomination?

You can respond to all, or to some, or not at all! This nominating stuff IS tricky, so I have no problem how anyone reacts. Just as long as you don’t throw something icky at me!
