This poem appeared in Volume 2 of the 'Lyrical Ballads,' from William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Surely nobody can deny the beauty and endurance of these magical words that once so comforted me in my loneliness? #books #writer #writing #words #poetry #inspiration
As spring returns, I can't wait for us to get out again in Daisy the campervan. We travel all over the UK, often in tandem with Michelle's work as a professional chaperone for children working in film, TV and theatre. What retirement?

My wife, Michelle, is working away at the moment, so I'm spending a lot of time in my little room, writing. As if understanding how much I miss her, my lovely orchids seem to be reaching out to me, as if to say: 'We understand, and we're with you all the way.'

This is a Cedar of Lebanon, planted in 1765. The species is famously resistant to decay and rot, while the many of us who have walked by it in the past 260 years are not. It reminds me of the various branches my life has taken, without ever forgetting my roots. #worcestershire

We often walk by the river towards this wonderful watermill at #Fladbury. I based a scene in Water, Slaughter Everywhere on it, being able to picture it so clearly as I wrote. #books #audiobook #history #writer #fiction #CrimeFiction #mysterybooks #fictionbooks #novel #psychic
This is a lovely quote, isn't it? I'm lucky in that, from baby to bus pass, each of my homes has been happy and full of love. I never forget how fortunate I am to enjoy warmth from the inside out. With those foundations, you can achieve anything.
