Read my book for Free!

Free eBook download until the end of June.

Sam has been missing for two long years. Kate struggles on with her own children and Sam’s after Jack left her but she continues to believe that one day Sam will be back. It’s Hallowe’en, Samhain and it’s a dark moon. Abruptly in a flurry of mystery and magic, Sam is back and Kate’s already insecure world is torn apart as forces beyond her experience and understanding flood into her life.

Of course I am hoping that some of you might go on and order a copy because reading on screen can be a pain, and that you’ll tell everyone you know about it too and then some of them might go and buy a copy…… 

Available through Amazon, The Book Depository, and through all decent high street book shops - but you’ll have to order it.  

Green learning

Well, gardening really but I’m sure they learn stuff while we do that. Today we put in a row of mange tout peas, a very short row of a few lettuces, some beetroot and some regular peas - all sown directly into the ground and you never know, they might come up…. I popped a few tiny little foxgloves in by the rose and a teasel in there too. Yes, I know, they’re prickly and a pain but I just love them and they are fab for wildlife. Did a bit more digging and am planning on putting more peas and carrots in but in about a week so there’s a succession of crops - unlike the garlic - we now have 25 in the shed and about the same still in the ground but I want those that are left to swell a bit more before I pull them.

Both kids have done a bit of reading, Dino is working on some punctuation rules and general maths too - reluctantly as always but it’s being done. 

Kids were wandering about with the camera and there are a few pics I might put up later but most are of a foot, table leg, space where someone was a second ago etc. I think they need more practice and as it’s a digital on rechargeable batteries there’s no real waste.
