    What would you title the chapters of your autobiography? I think my “autobiography” would be very boring to read in a book form and no one would want to read it, but I guess if I ever wanted to write an autobiography these might be some of the chapter titles – but I’d be looking…

    Who is your favourite author and why? Now that is a difficult one, because I love all books. However, here are just a few from my different ages. When I started to read books avidly, as I have already explained I started by reading all the classics that my mother had as a child (all…

    Why do you write? I had to think about this one and to what the prompt was really referring – writing in general, being a writer specifically (which I am not) or simply the idea of expressing ideas through the prism of writing. Being flippant and taking the prompt literally – I write because I…

    2022 – Regular Blog (FAIL!)

    OK, so my start-up post on 3 January 2022 where I was thinking about a schedule to which I could manage a regular blog post was a little overambitious! However, just to test whether I could write a blog regularly, I did take part in the WordPress bloganuary challenge to write a post everyday during…
