It was Alfie Doodle’s Dad’s Birthday so we packed the Landy and spent a few days in the Lake District. It’s one of our favourite places to visit in the UK and is super dog-friendly. In terms of nice hotels to stay, great walks to enjoy and delicious places to dine out, it’s pretty hard […]

Almost good to go!
My third book is almost good to go and I have got 10 sample copies in my hands! It seems such a long time ago that I wrote the blog ‘Time to Put Pen to Paper‘ and back then my third book ‘to-do’ list was rather long. Thankfully, pretty much all of that list is […]

I feel honoured to be working with this fantastic Welsh jewellery manufacturer and could never have imagined this would […]
Where did Summer go?!
So, it’s been such a long time since I posted anything on social media or indeed wrote in this Journal. I felt it was time to open up the laptop again and ease myself back into this as the nights start to draw in and hopefully my creativity will take a boost from the change in […]
The printed and published book
12 sample copies… They arrived, printed and published, I couldn’t contain my excitement at receiving the first 12 sample copies of my book A Dog Lover’s Dream. It was just incredible to hold onto a book that I had written. However, thank goodness for a small sample run as a close friend spotted a typo!
