A few months ago I had my first fiction acceptance in Divinations Magazine. I’m so happy to be a part of this.

Sleep is a deeply personal thing, and we all have our stories that come from it. This one is mine.

‘Liar-Liar, Lyla Knight’

Love that I (inadvertently) caught a stranger’s smile here today. Wish I knew them to share it.

Peaceful trail ride this morning across fields, through woodlands and quaint villages. Friendly people along the way, holding gates open for us etc. Gentle pace, beautiful place, much needed after our mad ride in the city yesterday.

The places we pass.

It was sulking because we left the Campags behind and it didn’t want to do gravel (neither did I). Thankfully mostly road riding, it was beautiful. Thanks ☺️

Won’t forget this one.

My bike with its gravel wheels on, in a vast open field overlooking Stonehenge in the distance.

When the thing you are writing is the thing that drives and tames your mind, thinking about the people, where they are going and the long ago faces and memories that are hidden within them.

Ah yeah, sorry. You mean around ‘27 or the year when the birds change hands.

I’ll fit it in at some point tomorrow, possibly sooner

Ha indeed, ride over sleep any day ☺️

4am came with four broken promises, an insomniac’s mask and a rook with rings around its eyes.

In that case I must apologise for walking the mud in at times too 😂. It was never going to be pretty

It’s a rough old thing with a nasty nostalgia about it. But yeah, the storm has that too ☺️. Amy, be gone asap.

…the storm, I mean ☺️

All good thanks Steve, the hair wash was achieved as well as some writing on the WIP. Hopefully it doesn’t cause too much destruction.

It’s all getting a bit Darragh out there so I think 2:30pm would be a good time for a hair wash before the inevitable power cut happens.

Where nightmares travel and stories begin.
A misty woodland that is challenging to walk through.
