After a week of nonsense, we’re back to more nonsense in the usual way as normal service resumes. It’s been quite a week, and I will tell you about it as the days go by. We’ve had all sorts of things happening, including festivals, a big birthday, a bush fire, the biggest tuna salad ever, an horrendous traffic jam, and last night, strong winds which have left us sneezing and bunged up with dust. Oh, I also released another book in my Victorian detective series, ‘Snake Hill.’ It’s now on Kindle, but I’m still waiting for the full cover so I can release the paperback version. Hopefully, that’ll be along this week.

We’ve also had some lovely late September weather, even though it’s August, and the wind (now a breeze) has helped keep things cooler than usual. Mind you, these days, there’s no point talking about the usual weather for this time of year because who knows what that is? It’s weather. It’s either there or it’s not, and if it’s not, then we really are in trouble.

I’ve been meaning to mention the new bakery in the village, which has been open for a while now. It’s where the old wood-over bakery used to be. It’s had a revamp and has expanded.


I must now get on with chapter four of the next book in the series, which, so far, has turned out to be one of those that writes itself (if only).

If you enjoyed SV 2025, and can get along with that kind of writing, and if you haven’t yet snapped up a copy, then I heartily suggest you pop over to take a look at ‘Symi, Stuff and Nonsense,’ which you can find in Kindle, KU and in paperback.
