Motorways have become a wildlife haven; yes there is roadkill, and yes, on a summer’s day the windscreen is a mess of dead insects, but the banks beyond the hard shoulders are often a glorious displays of colour.
You can see primroses and cowslips in the spring, bluebells if you know where to look in May, and then a tumult of colour in summer, crimson and scarlet poppies, blue cornflowers, pink rosebay willowherb, yellow St John’s wort, purple loostrife, creamy meadowsweet, purple thistles, red, white and pink valerian, buttercups and daisies…

I am a writer living in the west of England, presently editing my three short novels for reluctant readers ready for publication.
My latest novel "Night Vision", is about Neil and Beulah Cameron, who find their marriage on the edge of breakdown, caused by Neil's unfounded jealousy of Beulah's best friend. However, their attempt to start again is undermined when Beulah finds Neil has a strange and dark side and many secrets of his own, maybe connected with his long dead brother and a missing girl.
"Loving Judah" is a story of love, loss, betrayal and hope;. Aislin McManus is devastated by the death of Judah, her stepson. The tragedy, which should have brought her closer to her husband, is driving them apart... Then Aislin finds a lost stranger...
"The Stalking of Rosa Czekov", is about an ordinary person who through an extraordinary act of courage brings herself to the attention of a dangerous stalker. Rosa's cousin, Tyche is determined to bring the stalker to justice, putting her own life at risk.
"Farholm", is a gripping story of a woman's search to find the truth about her husband on Farholm Island, risking death to uncover the lies he told her.
You can find my novels on Amazon as e-books.
I hope my blog will engage you with my other interests, music, family history and food... Most of all I hope you engage with my writing and my thoughts on the process... at least on my process!!
Beautiful.
