10 Days of Freedom!

May 20, 2023

1/10. I have been unable to put as much work into my project over the past few weeks as I would have liked. But, at the end of the day, I have to help keep a roof over our heads and food on our table, and training on my new day job has been quite demanding. But I now have ten clear days of holiday ahead of me and I am going to plough through my real work now with a vengeance. By the end of May I WILL have completed the second draft of ONB, which has now been retitled Vampires in Chains. I will have finished reading GNS' Water Rites and moved on to the next, as yet undecided, book. On the GNS front, my book detailing the joys and frustrations of collecting his and the addictive aspects of collecting is a GO and will form the main output of my project work next year. But, back to the here and now, and the next ten days in particular, I also need to photograph two separate Gower Peninsula sites for my third Gower book - Remnants of War, which I will be focussing on writing in June. With the weather looking generous for my holiday, I will also be spending some time working in the garden, so expect the Magickal Gardening website to kick back to life very soon. Well, that's me done with this update. Time to crack on...

Crabs: The Human Sacrifice

 I received an offer out of the blue on the GNS FB group for this ultra-rare book. Looks like the cats were more than interested lol:

Fudjcat has taken a keen interest in my reading this year. It is a rare day indeed when she doesn't come for a snuggle and nose at the book I am reading lol.

Water Rites in the Garden by Guy N Smith

I spent my second day out in the garden this year digging further into this slow burner of a novel:




a novel (pardon the pun) bookmark - a single blade of grass
