Posted on May 19, 2018 by Sue Vincent

* …And then we come across the church. Cue mass excitement as we take in all the Giants, which appear to sprout from every orifice… The body of the church you see is an education in itself. You probably already … Continue reading →

Others like us… Stuart France

Posted on May 17, 2018 by Sue Vincent

* … ‘Remind me again, why we are going to Cadbury?’ Part of my reluctance for these, what might be called, impromptu assignations are the inevitable ruptures they make in the overall scheme of things. Once a pattern has started … Continue reading →

On the road again…

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Sue Vincent

How much can you really manage to do on a warm, sunny weekend? It is surprising how obliging time can be when it is limited. We do not rush, we are never hurried, but we do seem to manage to … Continue reading →

Posted on May 6, 2018 by Sue Vincent

Reblogged from Lucinda E. Clarke: My guest this week is a name that often pops up on my social media as he’s very ‘into’ marketing and very successful at it too.  Charles has a new book out and we have … Continue reading →

More than survival

Posted on May 4, 2018 by Sue Vincent

  One of my all-time favourite fantasy cycles is the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Stephen Donaldson. They were the first fantasy books I ever read other than the classics such as Tolkien, Lewis and Carroll. My grandfather … Continue reading →

Shades of the Golden Age…

Posted on April 27, 2018 by Sue Vincent

As a child, I loved the old movies of the swashbuckling variety. Even then, I knew the stories were not real and the history likely to be wildly innaccurate. Romance and adventure did not wait behind every tree. Magic, though, … Continue reading →

Pictures from an Exhibition blog tour with Tallis Steelyard – Partannese Promenade

Posted on April 5, 2018 by Sue Vincent

When everything goes wrong…

Posted on January 1, 2018 by Sue Vincent

On the trail yet again…

Posted on November 30, 2017 by Sue Vincent
