John Nicholson / Celebrity local writer

Today I met a group of local authors at an event in Stockton.

John explained how he stuck 2 fingers up at the Publishing world and went as a self Publisher.

He describes himself as an 'Arsey Teessider', ooh who does that sound like then?!!

Here is a link to John's website, he is very popular in the North East.

Today I went to a Creative writing workshop for the very first time.

The workshop is part of a wonderful book festival called Crossing the Tees.

Thank you Allison you have truly inspired me and I will get on with writing!

The Frog song

Swallow the Green Frog!

This phrase , which means basically, do something you have been putting off and, Get on with it!

It seems to be cropping up a lot lately!!

Funnily enough as I was gardening on Sunday, I came across the biggest Green frog I have ever seen!

Didn't fancy swallowing that! SO I left it to eat the slugs!!!

Edingburgh Half Marathon 2015

A fantastic couple of days in a wonderful city.
I can't wait to explore more of it.
So many corners and hidden treasures.

And to run through the city with thousands of others is a dream.
