The British blog of everything - what does it mean?

I will give you an idea of the topics that maybe covered at some point in the future.

Books - I love reading from thrillers, romance, some fantasy and classics. Expect a few reviews along the way.

Children's Books - As a children's author, I love to read new releases that are in the same genre as mine. As a parent and grandparent I do have many Julia Donaldson books, who doesn't of course and I will leave the review of these books to others. However there are many other talented authors out there and I keep uptodate by reading their works and I will post reviews as I do.

Fitness - I love running I have run often throughout my life. However before my eldest son got married in 2012 I took up running to lose weight and it became a constant, I took part in 10K and Half Marathon races. However when covid came in 2020, already struggling with bad knees, my mobility worsened. I will detail my struggles with getting back to fitness and some methods I have used and their effectiveness. Please note I am not a personal trainer and what works for me will not necessarily work for everyone else.

Food - I love food of all kinds. Currently I am loving following people on Facebook and Instagram and have tried some delicious recipes and I am happy to share them here with you. With all credits given of course.

Grandparenting - my greatest achievement and I am grateful for six healthy, happy, funny, bright, grandchildren, ranging from 17 down to almost 2. I love having them over to sleep and days out. The best time for me is when we are all together, thirteen in total, it makes for crazy times.

Poetry - I took up poetry in 2017 after being knocked over by a motorbike. I had one arm in a cast and the other in a splint and I was walking through the streets of London feeling very anxious. People were completely unaware of my predicament or indeed anyone else's, as they were on their phones and I was inspired to write my first poem "More" - see below:

Sport - I like most sports. As a child I was brought up on football in the winter and cricket in the summer. I love football, cricket, rugby, formula one, speedway. A great mix.

Weight loss - goes hand in hand with fitness. It has been a struggle the last four years but I am now seeing progress and will discuss it here with you.

Writing - as you can tell from this page I love to write. I enter competitions and set myself challenges and I will share them here with you.

Weather - As a brit I couldn't omit this topic. We love talking about it, all the time. Maybe its because our weather is so diverse, being an island, we get a lot of rain! but I will talk about how the weather affects our every day.
