When do you call yourself a writer?
When reading Writing magazines and looking at online Writers forums, you come across this question quite often; I have found that the answer seems to always lie with the particular Writer. So I thought I would add my opinion into the mix. I have loved reading since I was a child, I used to devour…
Blackpool Illuminations
Well we managed to get on the Heritage Train this time, the wife was very pleased. But I think it is over hyped, it was a nice ride for over an hour right from one end of Blackpool to the other, but as you are in the train I think it really isn’t he best…
18th June 2017 – Motorbike
