Soooo... I may or may not have abruptly headed home and forgotten to pack the charger for my laptop. If it had been just a couple of days I would have caught up on the blog posts but we're talking a weeks worth of me typing at length. I'll cut my loses and we'll pretend …
Writing my first book was on the whole an enjoyable experience. I don't think writing professionally would be something worth pursuing if I didn't get some enjoyment out of writing. To be able to put down the characters in my head was at times great fun. This is not to say it was without it's …
I could exaggerate how busy my life is and tell you I have been sooo busy I've had no time for a blog post today. But I'm generally pretty honest so I won't. I have in fact just left it rather late on in the day to get the blog post done and I have …
I happen to know of a caterpillar that once ate rather a lot. You might even call him a very hungry caterpillar. I personally would suggest he was overly hungry because he was only a caterpillar, that was an awful lot for one caterpillar to eat... I mean 1 apple, 2 pears, 3 plums, 4 …

You may have forgotten you ever heard them, you may remember a track and think oh yeah that was on such and such. Whatever the case it'll probably be familiar. …
It’s time for more fairy tale adventures, hooray! Today we are going to look at a story all about deception, mistrust and how curiosity kills the cat. Bluebeard (not a pirate) is a tale that, much like the others we have discussed, has been told and retold over the centuries. But it isn’t so well …
Welcome again fairy tale adventurers. Today's fairy/folk tale is possibly one you haven't heard of, I certainly hadn't until I read it. This should in theory be a simple continuation of yesterday's post on Hansel & Gretel (How To Grow Up Courageously), but like I said before they seem a little bit different to me …
I'm really enjoying doing these Fairy Tale posts. I shall be quite sad when I run out of them, unfortunately there isn't an endless supply of them. Hansel and Gretel today though and as I was already aware of cinematic versions of Snow White in my discussion Disney just got Grimm and Little Red Riding Hood in Red …
