I haven't had much time these last few weeks with the end of term craziness that all teachers will be familiar with.
And now summer has finally arrived and I am sitting in the garden, shaded by the parasol with the hum of bees in the fuchsia beside me, two contented cats sprawled out on the patio, a cloudless blue sky, a gentle breeze and a glass of Pimms water (it's only just after four in the afternoon; far too early for that just yet!) by my side.
I have just about managed to resist rereading my campnanowrimo piece just yet- leaving it for a while longer before some major editing and maybe then I will share some here as I would love some feedback.
I am very lucky to be heading off to the Dordogne at the end of the week- surrounded by vineyards and no wifi to be found. I have a notebook ready for writing in while I am away in between the pile of books I plan to read...

on the table adjusting it until it was at precisely 90 degrees to the table’s
edge.
“It’s over.” she pushed the piece of paper across the table.
He picked it up to see the line was drawn through their surname.
As
she walked towards the door she ran her hand along therow of perfectly aligned pictures leaving each one askew.
