At the end of January We set off for a bit of a holiday.  2013 had been a very busy year and I was looking forward to a break. We started our trip in Adelaide, South Australia,

and then went to New Zealand.

I am going to blog a bit about our trip on my blog BOOKWORDS  in the next few days so you can find out more about it there.

When I came back I was straight back to work with my second visit to the lovely ‘Writing Mums’ a creative writing group of mothers, and some grandmothers, in Dunbar, East Lothian. I had left them with a writing exercise to try and the work produced by the group has been quite outstanding.I am really enjoying working with them.

They are working towards an event where they can read some of their work at CoastWord a new Dunbar festival of words in June 2014.
