A writerly weekend…

Posted on October 27, 2015 by Sue Vincent

I was late setting off for the north on Friday, so there was no time to stop and enjoy the autumnal colour that now blankets the land like some medieval tapestry, all ochres, rust and gold. By the time I … Continue reading →

Notes from a Small Dog – Abandoned

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Sue Vincent

She’s away gallivanting, leaving me with my friends all alone to play with Gooch and Hardy… All she’s been doing is tapping away at the ‘puter for ages… ‘proofing’, she says… ‘not now’ and ‘just a minute’ she says… Boring… … Continue reading →

Ilkley – Cee’s photo challenge

Posted on April 25, 2015 by Sue Vincent

This picture was taken a couple of years ago. It was the first time I had set foot on my moors in many, many years. I was working for a logistics company as sales manager, but I helped out driving … Continue reading →

…. And relax. Or perhaps not…

Posted on March 30, 2015 by Sue Vincent

So another weekend in the north passed quietly, mainly as rain stopped play for most of the time I was there. Not, of course, that it is any less beautiful. It simply meant that instead of tramping the moors, getting … Continue reading →

“You are supposed to go to church on a Sunday it is true but not necessarily fifteen!” So writes ‘Don’ in The Initiate. It wasn’t quite as hectic this Sunday… a mere handful of churches, with a couple of country … Continue reading →

Little gems – Aylesbury

Posted on February 21, 2015 by Sue Vincent

I had occasion to go into town one summer’s day back on 2013. I am seldom happy about that, but sometimes it has to be done. Not that it is a bad town, to be fair. It has a history, … Continue reading →

Little Gems – Dinton

Posted on February 20, 2015 by Sue Vincent

One summer’s morning, back in 2013, I nipped out for milk and got a little sidetracked… I often do. You may have noticed that I seem to spend a lot of time wandering the highways and wild places with a … Continue reading →

Sparrows

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Sue Vincent

We had found, not just a footpath towards the elusive Fin Cop, but a road… things were looking up. The road climbed the heights so perhaps we wouldn’t have to… an unusual bonus for a hillfort, though we weren’t counting … Continue reading →

“Copious duckage and a load of bullocks”

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Sue Vincent

Almost…

Posted on August 10, 2014 by Sue Vincent
