At the end of February, to start my virtual coffee post I began describing where I’m having my coffee or favourite places that I have had my coffee. So, today the soft cushions of the sofa await me. I plan to wedge myself into the corner comfortably with my legs pulled up. Over top of… Continue reading Another coffee drinking location to mark as my favourite

This year I am writing a novel. Some of you might recall that last week I decided that I was going to start over. Well, I did and I am happy to say that chapter one is complete and I am very happy with the re-write.
