Circles Beyond Time – On Edge

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on October 8, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Writing without the other hand to steady him was hard, but the other was clamped on his thigh, holding back the flow of blood. The words on the vellum were like the wanderings of a dying bird… he smiled at … Continue reading →

Going West: The Painted Church

Posted on October 2, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Going West: A Wounded Church

Posted on October 1, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Where do you begin when you have to write about a cathedral? Each chapel, every corner, every nook and cranny is replete with art and history. The sensory input is so much that all you can do is walk and … Continue reading →

Going West: The Accidental Tourist

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Frankly, I thought it appallingly bad planning. Could the town not have chosen a different day to ceremonially install their new mayor? It isn’t as if we hadn’t advertised our itinerary for the weekend, culminating with a visit to the … Continue reading →
