Solstice is on Wednesday, but this is my last post before Christmas, so I’m hopefully early on the Thursday prompt! Sorry, KL, I’m missing your Carriage prompt entirely. After last week’s wreath, I decided a visit to Castle Marsh was

Mapping the Realms – a job for #Inktober
I’m mapping the Realms again. I can understand if you don’t understand that, but it’s a little extra you can find on the Princelings website – a map of the Realms, the Princelings world, as relevant to books 1-5. Why

May day, mayday: what I really did in April

The Monday post
As you know, I usually steer well clear of politics, especially on this blog. It’s been a highly charged week on both sides of the North Atlantic. Last Monday, Theresa May (our Prime Minister), made a very peculiar speech about Brexit
The Happy New Year Post
Family have left, friends have gone, the leftover food has all been eaten up or turned into soup and frozen, and I’m resolving to lose what I put on over Christmas without doing anything too drastic so I end up eating
#Flashback Friday | No Room at the Inn of the Seventh Happiness
I’m doing Flashback Friday a week early, because it’s Christmas, and I wanted to repeat this one, especially as I’ve worked out it appears ‘this yuletide’ in the Princelings series timeline. I had to do some juggling with Christmas stories
